Dickey Steps Riding School is a BHS approved family-run yard at Dickey Steps Farm in Rakewood, Littleborough, on the doorstep of Hollingworth Lake Country Park. Lessons run for riders from age 4 across all levels, with cross-country, BHS exam preparation and stable management alongside the school programme. RDA and therapy sessions run by appointment. Hacks, birthday parties, Pony for the Day and overnight stabling for riders working the Pennine bridleways (including the Mary Townley loop) round out the offer. An all-weather floodlit ménage extends use into the evenings.

What to wear
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.
