Saddl lists 300 UK riding schools venues, from riding schools and training yards to specialist centres. Coverage is strongest in Greater London, Greater Manchester and Cornwall. 108 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.
