Tong Lane End Equestrian Centre is a long established riding school located in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Set on the edge of the city at BD4 0SB, the centre runs a busy programme of group, private and semi-private riding lessons for both children and adults. Prices start from GBP 33 for a 45 minute group children's lesson on Saturdays, with beginners warmly welcomed alongside more experienced riders who want to build on their existing skills.
The centre is a Pony Club Centre and runs the full range of Pony Club activities, including Young Equestrian, pony days, camps and competitions. Riders can take part in dressage, show jumping, eventing, polocrosse and working hunter, with show jumps and fillers available on site for practice sessions. Holiday camps and birthday parties are offered throughout the year, and there are regular own a pony days for younger children who do not yet own their own horse or pony.
Tong Lane End has an impressive set of outdoor facilities for a centre so close to the city. These include a 20x40 metre rubber arena, a 30x50 metre carpet fibre jumping arena and a separate 20x20 metre rubber lunge pen. A covered arena with viewing areas lets lessons and clinics carry on in poor weather, and a cross country field is open during the summer months. The yard itself is built around wooden stables, with covered stalls, post and rail turnout paddocks, a heated tack room and plenty of horsebox and trailer parking.
Working grass livery is available for owners who want to keep their horse at the centre, and there are opportunities to get involved through apprenticeships, volunteering and day trips. The licensed premises also hosts regular competitions, giving riders the chance to put their training into practice at home. Anyone interested in lessons or livery can contact the centre directly for the latest availability, pricing and booking information.
