About this yard

Houston Farm Riding School in Broxburn, West Lothian has been providing riding tuition since 1972 and is one of Scotland's most established BHS and ABRS-approved centres. The yard operates a string of 54 horses and ponies and runs lessons seven days a week for children and adults across all ability levels. Two indoor schools allow the lesson programme to continue uninterrupted through Scotland's often difficult winter conditions. Group and private lessons are available from beginner level upwards, and the centre has produced a number of competitive riders over its five-decade history.
