Orchard Farm Equestrian sits in Hogsthorpe on the Lincolnshire coast and runs a varied programme of riding lessons, hacks and showjumping coaching. The school is led by BHS-qualified instructor Jamie Blanchard, who teaches group and private lessons to riders of different ages and abilities. Lessons start from GBP 22 for a 60 minute group session aimed at younger riders and beginners.
The centre caters well to those new to riding, with dedicated beginner hacks and group lessons designed to build confidence in and out of the saddle. Children are welcome, and the school runs pony days and holiday camps during school breaks. More experienced riders can book private lessons, take part in beach rides along the nearby coast, or work on their jumping with focused showjumping coaching from Jamie and the team.
Riders benefit from two arenas on site. The 25 by 55 metre indoor arena is floodlit, allowing lessons to continue through the darker months and into the evening, while the 35 by 65 metre outdoor arena provides additional space for flatwork and jumping sessions in better weather. The school is accredited by the British Horse Society, giving riders an established standard of instruction and welfare to expect.
Orchard Farm Equestrian is located in Hogsthorpe, Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands, with the postcode PE24 5PA. Its position close to the coast makes it a practical base for beach rides, while the mix of indoor and outdoor facilities means training can carry on year round. Anyone interested in booking can get in touch directly with the school to ask about lesson availability, pony days and the current schedule of hacks and showjumping coaching.
