About this yard

Daisy Nook & Oakhill Riding School sits on the edge of Daisy Nook Country Park in Ashton-under-Lyne, giving riders the rare combination of proper school facilities and direct access to open countryside. The centre holds BHS approval and runs a structured programme of lessons covering flatwork and jumping for complete beginners through to more experienced riders. An indoor school and floodlit outdoor arena mean training continues whatever the weather, and the surrounding parkland provides excellent off-road hacking to complement arena work. Both child and adult riders are catered for throughout the week and at weekends.
