Earnsdale Farm Riding School has been running near Darwen since 1984 and is BHS approved. A 50 x 20m indoor arena (sand and rubber) and a 40 x 20m floodlit outdoor ménage support lessons for riders from age 4 across all abilities, in private or group format. The yard has 14 loose boxes plus a 17-stable livery yard adjacent to the outdoor arena. A small novice cross-country course in 1.5 acres rounds out the school site. Disabled rider facilities include experienced staff and accessible toilets, with a 30-seat viewing gallery for parents and carers.
