Riding Schools in Kent

Riding Schools are perfect for the rider who doesn't own their own horse or pony. Some of the Riding Schools listed here are affiliated to the British Horse Society. All BHS Approved Establishments are inspected at least once a year and establishments only pass if they have met the most stringent standards of instruction, safety and horse care.

Many riding schools run escorted rides through the local countryside, although an initial competency test will usually be required.
