Lodge Farm Equestrian Centre

Lodge Farm Equestrian Centre operates as a British Horse Society approved riding school and events venue in Wetley Rocks, on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire. Set within the West Midlands region, the centre caters to riders of all ages and abilities, with qualified instructors delivering both private and group lessons. Beginners are welcomed, and children can take their first steps in an environment structured around safety and steady progression. The Pony Club Centre status means that younger riders can also access a range of mounted and unmounted activities run under the Pony Club framework.

Riding lessons cover the core British Horse Society stages, and schooling work can be tailored towards dressage, show jumping, showing and working hunter disciplines. Riders preparing for competition can make use of training clinics held on site, while those who prefer to step into the arena themselves can enter the centre's programme of dressage and showing competitions. Cross country enthusiasts have a course of portable fences to tackle, and the team also runs fun days and pony parties for riders looking for a less formal day in the saddle.

Facilities include a floodlit outdoor arena and a covered indoor arena, allowing lessons and schooling to continue regardless of the weather or time of year. Indoor and outdoor stabling, off site grazing during the summer months and a judges box support the centre's role as a competition venue. An on-site arena cafe and a conservatory lecture room provide space for spectators, talks and refreshments on event days. Disabled access is available throughout the main areas, and the team also offers arena hire and venue hire for external organisers.

The centre is licensed by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council and opens six days a week, with shorter hours on Saturdays and a full day off on Sundays. A saddlery shop on site stocks everyday essentials alongside riding apparel. Anyone interested in booking lessons, entering a competition or arranging a clinic can find the centre at postcode ST9 0BN, just outside Stoke-on-Trent, with further details available through the official website.
