Wellgrove Farm Stables operates as a family-run riding school set in the countryside close to Tunbridge Wells in Kent. The centre holds approval from the British Horse Society and acts as an official Pony Club Centre, giving riders a clear progression route from their first lesson through to competitive activities. Tuition is available for beginners and for children, and the school welcomes riders of all ages, making it a practical choice for families looking to share an interest in horses.
Lessons cover the core disciplines of dressage, hacking and show jumping. Riders can take part in Pony Club activities, structured pony days and school holiday camps, with hacking available for those who want to experience the local lanes and bridleways. Wellgrove Farm is also a member of Riding for the Disabled, so riders with additional needs can take part in sessions with appropriate support. Other services include a helpers scheme, horse and pony loans, and full livery for owners wanting their horses kept on site.
Beyond lessons, the stables host children's birthday parties and run a riding-for-schools programme, allowing groups to visit the yard and learn about ponies in a supervised setting. The combination of an accessible yard, BHS approval and Pony Club Centre status reassures parents and riders that welfare and coaching standards are in place.
Wellgrove Farm Stables is licensed by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and is based at postcode TN2 4AA. Prices start from GBP 22 for an introductory sit-on session. Anyone interested in lessons, livery, Pony Club membership or a holiday camp should contact the stables directly to check availability and book.
