Tinsleys Riding School is a British Horse Society approved equestrian centre situated in Clapham, on the outskirts of Bedford in the East of England. The school runs group training sessions and private lessons, and operates a Horse Scheme alongside full livery services. Instruction is focused on dressage, with lessons delivered in an outdoor arena on site.
Because Tinsleys only accepts competent riders, the centre is best suited to riders who already have a sound seat and are looking to build on existing skills. Children are welcome, and the Horse Scheme gives participants the chance to work with a school horse over a longer period rather than simply turning up for a one-off ride. Private lessons are available for those who prefer individual tuition, while group sessions allow riders to train alongside others at a similar level.
The facilities include an outdoor arena used for lessons and schooling, along with on-site stabling that supports both the school horses and liveries. The rural Clapham setting offers a quieter environment than the town itself, while remaining within easy reach of Bedford. Riders should be aware that the school does not offer beginner, lead rein or very novice lessons, so those entirely new to horses will need to seek instruction elsewhere before joining.
Tinsleys Riding School is licensed by Bedford Borough Council and holds BHS Approved status, which is verified through the British Horse Society approved register. The postcode for sat nav users is MK41 6EX. Anyone interested in lessons, the Horse Scheme or livery should contact the school directly for current availability, pricing and lesson schedules.
