Glen Jakes Riding School is based in Offerton on the edge of Stockport and caters to riders aged four and upwards. Tuition covers complete beginners through to advanced riders across show jumping, dressage, cross-country, showing and stable management. Group and private riding lessons are available, along with semi-private sessions for those who want a middle ground between the two.
Beyond the schoolroom, the centre runs hacks and walkouts in the surrounding area, giving riders the chance to experience countryside riding away from the arena. Pony rides are offered for younger children, and stable management sessions allow those interested in the care side of horses to build their knowledge. Gift vouchers are available for those looking to give the gift of a lesson or experience.
Birthday parties are a particular speciality, with both an outdoor party area and a purpose built indoor party area on site. This means celebrations can go ahead regardless of the weather. The school covers three core disciplines in its advanced tuition, giving progressing riders scope to try jumping, flatwork and cross-country without committing to one path too early.
Practical details for visitors: weekday group lessons start from GBP 20 for a 30 minute session, with a small price increase scheduled from 1 April 2026. Opening hours run from Tuesday to Sunday, with Wednesday limited to school holidays only and Monday closed throughout. The postcode for sat nav users is SK2 5JE. Those interested in booking lessons, hacks or a party can contact the school directly to check availability and arrange a session.
