Spillsill Farm is a riding school based in Kent that welcomes riders from their first time in the saddle through to more confident riders looking to build on their skills. Lessons are open to beginners and children, with a focus on making the early stages of learning to ride approachable and enjoyable. Riders are introduced to the basics of horsemanship alongside time in the arena, and the school tailors the pace to suit each individual.
The school runs a varied programme throughout the year. Riding lessons form the core of what is offered, and these sit alongside holiday camps and birthday parties that give younger riders a chance to spend extended time with the horses. Pony days are available for children who would like a fuller introduction to looking after and riding a pony in a single session. Summer camps provide a longer block of activity during the school holidays, while special events are put on at different points in the calendar.
Spillsill Farm keeps its own stables on site and works from an outdoor arena fitted with child-friendly markers that help younger riders understand distances, shapes and transitions. A seated viewing area allows parents, guardians and friends to watch lessons in comfort, which is particularly useful during children's sessions and parties.
The school also runs SEND sessions, giving riders with additional needs the opportunity to take part in lessons in a supportive setting. Anyone interested in booking can get in touch with the school directly to find out about availability, lesson formats and the current schedule of pony days, parties and camps. The Kent location makes it accessible to families from across the South East of England who are looking for a local riding school.
