Murton Equestrian Centre

Murton Equestrian Centre is a family-run riding school situated in North Tyneside, serving riders from Newcastle Upon Tyne and the surrounding area. The centre operates as an approved British Horse Society riding school and is also a Pony Club centre, with instruction available in dressage, lungeing, show jumping and stable management. Riders can choose from private, semi-private and group lessons, and the centre accepts complete beginners as well as more experienced children and adults.

Lessons run across Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 8pm and at weekends from 10am to 5pm, with the school closed on Mondays. Pricing starts from GBP 22 for off-peak RDA sessions for a single rider, inclusive of VAT. The school is a member of Riding for the Disabled and runs dedicated RDA sessions alongside its mainstream lesson programme. Pony Club activities, BHS Stages training, own-horse training, stable management sessions and equine assisted learning are all offered, and birthday parties and school holiday activities are available throughout the year.

The site has both an indoor arena and an outdoor arena, allowing lessons to continue in poor weather, along with on-site stabling and parking for visitors. The premises are licensed by North Tyneside Council. Pony petting sessions form part of the activities offered for younger children and visitors, making the centre accessible to families as well as regular riders.

Murton Equestrian Centre is located in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North East of England, with the postcode NE27 0QD. Its combination of BHS approval, Pony Club centre status and RDA membership means it covers recreational lessons, structured qualification training and therapeutic riding in one setting. Contact details and booking information can be obtained directly from the centre for those wanting to arrange lessons, Pony Club membership, party bookings or holiday activities.
