Birchwood Equestrian Centre
About this yard
Birchwood Equestrian Centre runs from 140 Birchwood Lane in Somercotes, near Alfreton, with a riding school that takes beginners through to experienced riders of all ages. Lessons sit alongside jump nights, hacks, pony days and games afternoons, with part, full and hunter livery available for owners. A pony part-loan scheme lets riders share the yard's school ponies without committing to outright ownership, useful for older children and adult returners building experience without taking on a horse of their own.

Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs should be covered, and waterproofs are worth having for outdoor lessons. Check with the yard if you are unsure.
Long hair should be tied back before putting on your hat, and jewellery removed before riding.
