Belfairs Riding School
About this yard
Belfairs Riding School is based inside Belfairs Park near Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, offering lessons and hacking on natural woodland trails rather than in a conventional arena. It is 5-star council licensed and supports RDA inclusive riding. Group and private lessons, pony rides, and woodland hacks available for children and adults. Sunday pony rides (10am-1pm) are a drop-in introduction to riding for children aged 4+, no booking needed. All other bookings are made by email; the phone is only manned on Saturdays and Sundays.

Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
