Horse Riding for Adults

Whether you’re new to horse riding, returning after a break, or looking for expert coaching with quality horses, Lavant Equestrian offers a safe, rewarding and professional environment to ride and progress at your own pace.

With three full-size all weather riding arenas including an indoor school, and a team of highly qualified, experienced coaches, we provide the ideal setting to learn, progress, and enjoy every moment in the saddle.

Why Ride as an Adult?

Horse riding is more than just a sport, it’s a fantastic way to stay active, improve fitness, posture, balance and core strength while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of being around horses. It’s also the perfect excuse to get outdoors, unwind, reduce stress, boost wellbeing and reconnect with nature.

Whether you’ve never ridden before, are feeling a little apprehensive on returning to riding, or have years of experience, with 55 horses to select from, we’ll have a horse to suit your abilities. Our well-trained horses, professional coaching team and exemplary safety record mean you’re always in safe hands.

Our focus is on providing top-quality, well-matched horses while ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all riders. Thanks to our expert team and carefully prepared horses, our safety record is second to none, letting you ride with confidence and peace of mind.

There’s no upper age limit for riding at Lavant, though for the well-being of our horses, we do have an upper weight limit of 13 stone.

Take the first step with an introductory session. We’ll guide you on how to move forward, whether you’re looking to build confidence, refine your skills, or simply enjoy quality time in the saddle.
