Holymoor Riding School
About this yard
Holymoor Riding School sits on the western edge of Chesterfield where the suburbs give way to open Peak District countryside. The centre holds ABRS approval and operates a 40×20 metre outdoor arena for flatwork and jumping tuition, with direct hacking access to the Linacre Reservoirs and the surrounding woodland. The school offers a progressive lesson structure for children and adults, from first experience sessions through to more developed flatwork and pole work. The combination of arena tuition and accessible countryside riding makes it a practical choice for riders who want both disciplines from one yard.
