Dimlands Riding Schools

Dimlands Riding Schools is a small, family-owned establishment on the outskirts of Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan. Run as an independent riding school and livery yard, it provides instruction across group, semi-private and private formats, allowing riders to choose the format that best matches their goals and schedule.

Lessons are open to complete beginners as well as more experienced riders, and the school welcomes children alongside adult learners. Tuition focuses on show jumping, with structured stable management lessons also available for those wanting to build their horsemanship knowledge beyond the saddle. Equipment hire is offered on site, which means newcomers do not need to own their own hat or boots before booking a first session.

The outdoor jumping arena is fitted with floodlighting, so lessons can continue into the darker winter evenings. This combination of a dedicated jumping surface and all-weather lighting gives the school a practical year-round teaching setup. Group lessons start from GBP 19 for a 30 minute session, with semi-private and private options priced accordingly.

The yard also provides livery for owners who want their horses based at the same location as their lessons. Dimlands holds accreditation from the Association of British Riding Schools, reflecting its standards in teaching and horse welfare. The school sits in CF61 1YX, on the edge of Llantwit Major with easy access from the surrounding Vale of Glamorgan villages and the coastal road toward Bridgend.
