Talland School Of Equitation

Talland School Of Equitation is a family-run riding centre set in the Gloucestershire countryside near Cirencester. Lessons run from beginner through to advanced, with separate pathways for adults and children. The school teaches across multiple disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, hacking and cross country, and caters for riders preparing for British Horse Society examinations as well as those working towards Pony Club tests.

The centre holds recognised status as a Pony Club centre and is a member of the Riding for the Disabled Association, hosting regular RDA groups alongside its other programmes. Holiday provision is broad, with adult holiday courses, children's day courses and school holiday camps running throughout the year. Beginner lessons, intermediate sessions and advanced schoolmaster lessons give riders room to progress, while those pursuing equestrian careers can take BHS career training and exam preparation days.

Facilities on site include a 60 metre by 40 metre indoor arena and a 60 metre by 60 metre outdoor arena, both floodlit for year-round use. Spectator galleries overlook the arenas and a tack room with CCTV provides secure storage. Riders can also use a BHS Stage 3 and Stage 4 cross-country course on the premises, with a further cross-country course available nearby. A cafe serving from 10am until 5.15pm daily allows visitors to watch riding, and individual and group turnout paddocks support the livery horses.

Full livery, competition livery, grass livery and overnight DIY livery are all available for owners wishing to keep their horses at the centre. Children's group beginner lessons start from GBP 38. The school sits on a listed BHS approved register, and prospective clients can contact the centre directly using the postcode GL7 5FD for bookings, lesson enquiries and livery availability.
