Why Families Love Lavant
At Lavant Equestrian, we’re more than just a riding school, we’re a family where people and horses thrive. Nestled just outside Chichester in the West Sussex countryside, we offer a unique combination of expert coaching, happy horses, and a family-friendly approach that makes riding fun, safe and rewarding for everyone.
Here’s what makes Lavant Equestrian truly special:
Weekly Memberships
Our structured weekly riding membership ensures your child gets consistent coaching with the same pony and coach, helping them build skills and confidence.
Woodland Walks & Outdoor Setting
These magical and gentle 30-minute, one-one pony rides through our beautiful woodlands are even available for two-year olds! Parents and guardians are welcome to walk alongside on foot.
Varied Activities & Events
Enjoy a year-round calendar of events and activities for members and non-members. From scenic hacks and fun-filled riding camps to expert-led clinics there’s something for everyone to enjoy in and out of the saddle.
Our Pony Loan Scheme
Want more time with your favourite pony? Our Pony Loan Scheme gives children the chance to “own” a pony for a day each week, learning to care for, ride, and truly bond with their equine friend.
