Greenacres Riding School

Greenacres Riding School runs multi-day residential bootcamps on its equestrian centre in Lea, Herefordshire. The school is for adults only and the focus is on practical riding experience away from the everyday routine. Courses typically run from 09:30 to 16:00 and combine structured lessons with time spent on the road and out on local hacking routes.

The centre caters to riders at the start of their journey as well as those looking to build confidence or push their skills further. Beginner lessons introduce the basics of riding, while confidence building courses help riders who have had a break or feel anxious around horses. Hacking courses and intensive training cover road riding, trekking and longer Pro Hacker bootcamps for riders who want a more demanding week. Groundwork and long reining are also available for those who want to understand the horse from the ground up, alongside stable management training.

Accommodation is in on-site glamping, so riders can stay on the property for the duration of their course and be close to the horses each morning. The school provides parking for visitors arriving by car. Disciplines centre on hacking, road riding and trekking, taking advantage of the surrounding Herefordshire countryside.

Bootcamps are priced from GBP 588 for a five-day Pro Hacker course. The school is currently temporarily closed, so anyone interested in a course or lesson should get in touch to find out the planned reopening date and to book a place. Greenacres Riding School is located in Lea, Herefordshire, in the West Midlands region, with a postcode of HR9 7JZ.
