Wythenshawe Park Riding Stables Ltd

Set within the green expanse of Wythenshawe Park, this family-run riding school provides lessons and hacking for riders from age 4 upwards. Group and private sessions form the core of the timetable, with semi-private lessons also available for those who want a small amount of individual attention. Beginners are welcomed alongside more established riders, and the school runs its own branch of the Pony Club for younger enthusiasts.

Riding is offered across dressage, show jumping and stable management, giving pupils a balanced grounding in core equestrian skills. Hacking and trekking are a particular feature, with routes leading directly through the surrounding parkland. A 30 minute walk out hack starts from GBP 22. Beyond regular lessons, the stables host Own a Pony days, birthday parties, school holiday camps, corporate riding days and sensory riding sessions, alongside periodic bank rides. Manure is also sold from the yard.

The yard works with an outdoor arena and has invested in accessibility, including sensory provision and open access riding for riders with additional needs. A mobile cafe trailer known as the Pony Espresso serves refreshments on site. Group lessons typically run between 9am and 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday, while the About Us section indicates the school operates seven days a week.

Wythenshawe Park Riding Stables Ltd holds a local authority riding establishment licence, number 225018. The postcode for sat nav users is M23 0AB, placing the yard within the park in the south of Manchester in North West England. Prospective riders and parents are advised to contact the school directly to confirm lesson availability, book hack slots and enquire about Own a Pony days, parties and other events.
