Northside Equestrian Centre Ltd

Northside Equestrian Centre Ltd is a family-run British Horse Society approved centre located near Bishop Auckland in County Durham. Set on a working livery yard, the centre provides horse riding lessons, accompanied hacking rides and a range of training opportunities for riders of varying ages and abilities.

Lessons are offered to children and adults, with coaching available across show jumping, dressage and disco dressage. Riders working towards BHS recreational awards can take part in structured training at the centre, while pony days and holiday camps give younger riders an introduction to horse care and riding during school breaks. Regular disco dressage clinics are held on site, giving competitors a chance to practise in a relaxed, social setting.

The facilities include both an indoor arena and an outdoor arena, allowing lessons and training to continue throughout the year regardless of weather. Stables, paddocks and a horse solarium are available for liveries and visitors bringing their own horses for short breaks. Show jumps are set up in the arenas, and hacking is available directly from the yard on surrounding County Durham countryside.

Livery is a core part of the business, alongside coaching and the on-site pet-friendly holiday cottages, which make the centre a practical base for riders wanting a horse-focused break. The postcode is DL13 4LT.
