Longmead Riding Centre operates from Manningtree in Essex and provides one-to-one horse riding tuition as its core service. Lessons are tailored to individual riders and cover beginners through to advanced levels, with dressage and show jumping both available as disciplines. The centre also takes riders out hacking, allowing more experienced clients to put their schooling into practice on local routes.
Children are welcome, as are riders who have never sat on a horse before, with the format of a single rider per session lending itself well to careful, paced instruction. The centre is accessible and is also used by riders with physical and learning disabilities, reflecting the experience of the staff in adapting lessons to a wide range of needs and abilities.
Alongside ridden work, the centre offers stable management tuition, teaching the everyday aspects of horse care such as handling, grooming and turnout. Stable management sessions are useful for those who want to understand the horse away from the saddle, including owners-to-be working towards their BHS stages or simply wanting to be more confident around horses.
Longmead Riding Centre is located in Manningtree with the postcode CO11 1NN, sitting within the East of England and convenient for riders travelling from across the Tendring area. The centre is licensed in line with current regulations. Lessons can be booked directly with the centre, and further information is available by contacting Longmead Riding Centre in Manningtree. As well as teaching, the centre helps owners rehome horses on their behalf, providing an additional service for those needing to find a new home for their horse.
