Southern Schoolmasters operates as a Western riding club and livery yard based in Chiddingfold, Surrey. The school focuses on Western disciplines including reining, ranch riding, and western trail, alongside dressage and general pleasure riding. Members ride their own horses, and the venue also hosts clinics, training programmes, competitions, and rider or horse work sessions through its on-site facilities.
The setup suits riders interested in Western styles who already have a horse, or those looking to access arena hire, training, and group lessons. Riders can book guided western trail rides, take part in organised clinics, or work through structured horse and rider development programmes. Livery clients are accommodated alongside the riding club, making the yard a practical base for owners who want regular access to arenas and instruction.
Facilities centre on a 30 metre by 40 metre outdoor floodlit arena with a rubber and sand surface, supported by a round pen and an on-site trail course for western riding practice. Additional amenities include a solarium, heated rug room, lecture room, stabling, summer fields, a turnout sand pen, parking, and a tea and coffee room for members. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces allows sessions to continue through much of the year.
The yard holds listed accreditations with AQHA, BHS, Certified Equine Association, NRHA, UKCC, and WES, reflecting its Western and general riding affiliations. Arena hire starts from GBP 8 for a 30 minute session per horse and rider.
