Astley Riding Centre
About this yard
Astley Riding Centre sits at Swillington on the eastern fringes of Leeds, running lessons from Wednesday to Monday for complete beginners through to competition riders. Tuition covers flatwork, dressage, and show jumping, with a team of well-schooled ponies well suited to young and novice riders. The floodlit outdoor arena is equipped to BSJA standard, including a wall and water jump, and cross-country schooling fences are available in the adjacent fields. Pony parties and unaffiliated show jumping competitions in summer add a social element to the programme. As a BHS Approved centre, Astley is regularly inspected for horse welfare, safety, and tuition standards.
