Eland Lodge Equestrian is an established equestrian centre situated between Uttoxeter and Burton-on-Trent on the Staffordshire and Derbyshire border, just outside Ashbourne. The centre combines a riding school, livery yard, country store and competition venue on a single site, giving riders a broad range of equestrian activities to choose from under one roof. It holds approved status on the British Horse Society register, providing reassurance for those seeking accredited instruction and care.
Lessons and training at Eland Lodge cover several core disciplines, including dressage, flatwork, show jumping, arena eventing, hunter trials and cross country. Riders looking to build experience over fences can make use of the 65 acre cross country course, while those focusing on flatwork benefit from a sizeable outdoor arena finished with an Andrews Bowen ProWax surface of around 4000 square metres. Holiday riding camps run during school breaks, offering children and teenagers a structured introduction to horse care and riding across multiple days.
Beyond riding, the centre runs a 5 star rated livery yard with full care options for owners wishing to keep their horses on site. Competitions are held throughout the year, and the facilities can also be hired for clinics, schooling sessions and unaffiliated events. A coffee shop and an on-site country store selling riding wear and equipment make it straightforward to combine a lesson or competition with shopping for essentials.
The postcode for satnav users is DE6 5HD, and the centre is open Monday to Saturday from 9.00am to 5.30pm and on Sundays from 10.00am to 4.30pm, though seasonal and bank holiday hours may differ so it is worth confirming before travelling. Anyone interested in livery, lessons, riding camps or facility hire can contact the centre directly through its website or by visiting in person.
