Equine Therapy riding schools and venues in the UK
Saddl lists 59 UK equine therapy venues, from riding schools and training yards to specialist centres. Coverage is strongest in Greater London, Devon and Suffolk. 21 of them hold BHS approval, an independent check on instruction, horse welfare and safety. Every listing is reviewed before we publish it, so what you see reflects a real working yard rather than a stale directory entry.
