Equus Riding Centre sits on the Moray coast near Elgin and runs a busy equestrian programme built around lessons, hacks and livery. Riders can take group or individual sessions in the centre's outdoor school, work through dressage movements, practise show jumping, or head out on forest and beach hacks along the local coastline. Taster sessions give newcomers a short introduction before committing to regular lessons, and the school teaches complete beginners through to more experienced riders looking to build confidence across a range of disciplines.
The centre caters well for younger riders and groups. Pony camps run during school holidays, Saturday clubs give children a regular weekly slot, and pony parties are available for birthdays. School and youth group sessions can be arranged for visiting groups, and the team also offers schooling for owners who want their horse worked on or schooled over poles and fences. Teaching staff accommodate children and adults, making the centre a practical choice for families where parents and children want to ride together or at different levels.
Facilities include a livery yard with full stabling, an outdoor school for lessons, and a round pen for schooling and handling work. The surrounding area is a real draw: forest trekking routes and beach rides are within easy reach, allowing lessons to be combined with hacks on request. The mix of arena work and off-road riding suits riders who want variety rather than a purely school-based experience.
Opening hours run Tuesday to Friday and Sunday by appointment, with the centre closed on Mondays except for bank holidays and camps. Saturday is dedicated to clubs and pre-booked hacks, treks and beach rides. Group lessons start from GBP 25 for a half hour. Contact details can be obtained directly through the centre's website or social channels.
