Please be patient winters on its way out I promise! With minus degree temperature’s. Frozen arena, yard, water buckets, water pipes, wheelbarrow handles,fingers and toes to name a few! I hate cancelling any lessons, firstly it’s my livelihood but most importantly it’s the horses and ponies exercise, they enjoy their work and the human interaction. Not to mention hard ground on horses legs safety of my riders just moving unpredictable animals round a slippery yard (yes we salt but that’s not full proof) and getting horses drinking in cold weather is all a battle. But when it thaws out we will be here for you all to enjoy maybe minus a finger or toe from frost bite because we will still be mucking out, feeding and caring for all of the lovely horses and ponies despite the temperature. See you on the warmer side every one.

Our Story

We are a well established and friendly riding school set on the outskirts of Elmswell, providing tuition for all abilities with no age restrictions, we have a large selection of well schooled horses and ponies to suit every one. Hill farm has been the site of a riding school for well over 20 years. We re established in 2010 with just a handful of horses and ponies and have built up to the thriving and pleasant yard it is today, seeing the stables improved, the arenas revamped and a larger car parking area evolve, just to mention a few improvements. We have 12 ponies from 12 hh up to 14.2hh and 8 horses from 14.3hh up to 17.2hh.

We are a BHS and A Place to Train approved yard where lessons take place every day. We also hold a riding club once a month on a friday.

We have toddles for the under 5 year olds, dressage lessons in our carpet gallop all weather arena or in our larger wood chip arena, show jumping in our wood chip all weather area. Cross country lessons in our three schooling fields all fences are wood chip take off and landing and heights of fences range from 20cm to 97cm or just enjoy a hack round the Suffolk country side, these can all be catered from novice to advanced level riders, adults and children.

The yard is also a Pony Club approved centre. We run pony club sessions every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 5:00 pm till 6:30pm and Saturdays 1:00pm till 2:30pm term time only.
