At Follifoot Park Riding Centre near Harrogate, we warmly welcome adults of all ages and abilities to join our riding lessons. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to the saddle after a break, we’ve got something for everyone. You can join our group lessons, book a private or semi-private session, or enjoy a relaxing hack through the countryside. We have a range of well-trained, safe horses that are perfect for building your confidence.
We regularly see new adult riders, ranging from 18 to 80 years old, and we’re here to cater to your needs, no matter your experience level. Our riding lessons for adults offer much more than just time in the saddle. You can take part in stable management, enter competitions, or even part-loan a horse.
If you’re looking for a gentle introduction, or just want to enjoy a slow walk on horseback, we’re more than happy to accommodate that too.
Discover the benefits of horse riding lessons for adults!
Rekindling or discovering a love of horses as an adult can be incredibly rewarding. Fitting horses back into your life is easier than you might think. Our floodlit outdoor and indoor arenas solve the problem of trying to fit riding lessons around your work schedule, especially when the days are shorter and the weather is inclement. Even just half an hour of riding a week can boost your sense of wellbeing, help you stay active, and provide a fulfilling respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
So, if you’re searching for riding lessons for adults near Harrogate, come and join us. Whether you’re aiming to refine your skills, learn something new, or simply enjoy the calming presence of horses, we’re here to help you on your journey. It’s never too late to pick up the reins and experience the joy of riding again. With a little experience, you can join in with our competitions and clinics for dressage and jumping.
Although we welcome everyone, for horse riding we have a maximum weight limit of 13.5 stone (85 kg), ensuring the safety and comfort of both rider and horse. But if you’re a little over that, don’t worry – riders of up to 16 stone (101 kg) can still book a session on Storm, our mechanical horse simulator, to experience riding and dressage.
