Set on the Isle of Skye, Portree Riding Stables operates as both a holiday destination and a training centre. The BHS approved riding centre runs pony trekking outings through the island's landscape as well as structured riding lessons. Riders can also work towards British Horse Society qualifications through the school's BHS examination preparation programme, with SVQ examination preparation available for those pursuing vocational qualifications.
Instruction covers a practical spread of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping and cross country. Hacking is available for riders who want to experience the surrounding countryside on horseback. The combination of trekking, lessons and exam preparation makes the centre relevant to a broad range of riders, from visitors on a short break to those working through structured stages of the BHS pathway.
On-site facilities include cross country fences and show jumps, giving riders the chance to train across disciplines without leaving the yard. The stables are paired with STB four star B&B accommodation, so guests can stay on the premises rather than arranging separate travel. Being on Skye, the setting offers access to coastal and hill terrain that shapes the hacking and trekking routes.
Portree Riding Stables is located in Portree, Highland, with the postcode IV51 9HT. The school holds BHS approved riding centre and BHS training centre status alongside its STB four star grading. Those interested in booking lessons, trekking sessions, accommodation or BHS and SVQ exam coaching should contact the centre directly.
