Carrington Riding Centre
About this yard
Carrington Riding Centre operates from Nursery Farm in Carrington, just south-west of Manchester in the Mersey Valley green belt. The yard is BHS approved and accredited by FEI Clubmark, British Riding Clubs, YELA, HOOF and the Pony Club. One indoor arena and four all-weather floodlit outdoor menages support lessons for adults and children from beginner upward, with a Racewood Dressage simulator for off-horse technique work. The 450-acre setting allows extensive off-road hacking despite the proximity to the motorway network.
