Cross Country riding schools in Leicestershire

Saddl lists 7 cross country venues in Leicestershire. Yards are concentrated around Leicester, Melton Mowbray and Lutterworth. 5 hold BHS approval, an independent check on instruction, welfare and safety. Every listing is reviewed before we publish it, so you're seeing real working yards rather than a stale directory. Open any venue for live contact details, prices and the disciplines it actually runs. Leicestershire is a smaller market for cross country than the big regional centres, which means the yards that do run it tend to be known quantities locally. It's worth ringing ahead: smaller yards often take fewer riders at a time, and the best instructors book up. Ask about group versus private sessions, what's provided (hats, body protectors), and whether they cater to your level before you travel. If you're flexible on discipline, Leicestershire also has Hacking & Trails, Riding Schools, Dressage venues worth a look. And because the right yard isn't always in your own county, it's worth widening the search to Birmingham, Coventry, Derbyshire, all within reasonable reach.
