Run by a fourth generation of the same family, Halesowen Riding School sits on the Halesowen and Birmingham border in the West Midlands. The centre offers group lessons, private lessons, jump lessons and tiny tots sessions, alongside structured Pony Club sessions and country hacking on local lanes and tracks. Riders of all abilities are catered for, from complete beginners taking their first contact with a pony through to more experienced riders working on jumping technique.
The school is licensed and is a Pony Club Centre, which allows children to work through Pony Club badges and stages under qualified instruction. Tiny tots sessions give younger children an early introduction to ponies in a safe, supervised setting, while older children and adults can join group lessons or take one to one private tuition. Jump lessons cover poles, gridwork and course work, and the hacking routes nearby provide useful mileage for those wanting to build confidence out of the school.
Private parking is available on site, making it straightforward for parents dropping children off or for adults arriving for evening lessons. The school keeps set opening hours across the week, with longer days Tuesday to Thursday, a full day Friday, and a weekend programme running from 8.30am. Monday is closed. These hours accommodate after school riders, weekend Pony Club members and adults looking to fit lessons around work.
Located in the Dudley borough close to the border with Birmingham, Halesowen Riding School is well placed for riders travelling from Halesowen, Quinton, Hagley and the wider Black Country. The postcode for sat nav users is B62 0ER. Anyone interested in booking lessons, Pony Club sessions or a hacking outing should contact the school directly to check availability and current pricing.
