Midgeland Indoor Riding School operates from its base on the outskirts of Blackpool, providing a practical environment for anyone wanting to learn to ride or improve their existing skills. Instruction covers a range of disciplines including dressage, show jumping and cross country, allowing pupils to build a varied foundation under one roof. Group and private lessons are available throughout the week, with classes structured to suit complete beginners through to more experienced riders.
The centre welcomes children and adults of all ages, making it a suitable choice for families as well as individual riders. Lessons for beginners focus on the basics of horsemanship and riding, while more advanced pupils can develop their technique across the three disciplines on offer. During school holidays, the school runs own-your-own pony days, giving younger riders an extended period of hands-on time with a horse or pony.
Facilities include an all-weather arena with a covered area, ensuring that lessons can continue regardless of the weather. On site stables and a working yard give pupils exposure to the day-to-day care of horses alongside their ridden work. The arena setup is used for flatwork, jumping practice and general lessons, providing a consistent training space year round.
The school is licensed by Wigan Borough Council, providing a recognised standard of operation. Group lessons start from GBP 14 for a half hour class, with private sessions available for those who prefer one-to-one tuition. Midgeland Indoor Riding School is located in Blackpool, postcode FY4 5EE.
