Engine Common Riding School

Engine Common Riding School is a small riding school located between Yate and Rangeworthy on the edge of Bristol in South Gloucestershire. It is run by Nichola, a BHS qualified instructor, and focuses on one-to-one private lessons primarily for children. With an initial assessment lesson priced at GBP 32 and subsequent 30 minute private lessons also starting at GBP 32, the school keeps its offering straightforward for parents arranging lessons for younger riders.

The school welcomes beginners and teaches children in a supportive setting. Private lessons are the main format, and the instructor also travels to riders' own stables for lessons on their own horse or pony, which is useful for owners who want training at home. Disciplines taught include dressage, gymkhana and show jumping, giving pupils a chance to try different activities as they progress.

Lessons take place in an outdoor arena on the school grounds. The outdoor setting suits the rural location between Yate and Rangeworthy, and the school's scale keeps group sizes to one rider at a time. As a licensed riding school, Engine Common Riding School holds a licence issued by South Gloucestershire Council.

Lessons are available every day including weekends and bank holidays, with appointment times typically falling after school, at weekends and during school holidays. Riders or parents can arrange a session by contacting the school directly to book. The postcode for visitors is BS37 7PX.
