Yorkshire Riding Centre is a family-run equestrian centre located in Markington, between Harrogate and Ripon in North Yorkshire. Tuition is offered in dressage, show jumping, eventing and cross country, with coaches taking riders from their first lessons right through to international competition. The centre welcomes beginners and more experienced riders alike, with individual and group riding lessons available throughout the week.
The site is set up for year-round riding regardless of the weather. Riders can make use of two indoor arenas, an outdoor arena, a full size dressage arena, a showjumping course and a canter track. International standard cross country fences are available for those wanting to practise at a higher level. Supporting facilities include stabling, a horse walker, lorry parking with power hook ups, a heated reception room, and tea and coffee making facilities for visitors. On-site chalet accommodation and the Barolin Farm House self-catering property allow riders and their families to stay over, which is particularly useful during the centre's holiday camps.
A range of services runs alongside regular lessons. Riders can book clinics, demonstrations, pole work sessions and horse care lectures, while those with their own horses are catered for through DIY livery, part livery and full livery options. The centre also hosts competitions, runs a membership scheme and offers facility hire to local riders and visiting clubs.
Yorkshire Riding Centre holds BHS accreditation and is accessible to riders with additional needs. The postcode for sat nav users is HG3 3PE. Anyone interested in lessons, livery, courses or upcoming competitions can contact the centre directly for current availability and pricing.
