Currypool Equestrian is a British Horse Society Approved Centre based in Cannington, near Bridgwater in Somerset. The centre provides riding lessons alongside a varied programme of equestrian activities for riders of different ages and abilities. Coaches hold BHS accredited professional qualifications and the lead coach is a BHAA qualified club coach, giving pupils structured tuition within an approved framework.
Lessons are open to beginners and to children, with instruction designed to build confidence and core horsemanship from the first ride onwards. Beyond standard lessons, the centre runs a Changing Lives Through Horses programme during term time on Mondays to Fridays from 11.30am to 2.30pm. This programme uses equine-facilitated learning to support personal development for young people who may benefit from a different approach to education. Birthday parties can also be arranged, making the venue a practical choice for families looking for an active celebration.
Currypool offers several less common equestrian disciplines alongside mainstream riding. Horseback archery and mounted games are taught at the centre, broadening the activities available beyond the usual flatwork and jumping syllabus. Show jumping is included as a discipline, and the team also leads BHS Challenge Awards and BHS Progressive Tests for riders working through the society's structured assessment pathway. A Riding Centre Assistant Award is supported, and horse desensitisation sessions are offered for owners who want their horses to become calmer around unusual stimuli.
The facilities include an arena available for hire, and the centre hosts events throughout the year. The postcode for satnav is TA5 2NH, with Cannington situated just off the A39 between Bridgwater and Minehead, giving reasonable access from across the South West. Prospective clients are advised to contact the centre directly for current pricing, lesson availability and to confirm the upcoming schedule of events and CLTH sessions.
