About this yard
Middleton Park Equestrian Centre is a registered charity and RDA-approved facility in south Leeds, dedicated to bringing the therapeutic and sporting benefits of horses to riders of all abilities. The centre is fully wheelchair-accessible, with a mounting ramp and hoist, and its 23 horses and ponies are managed by specialist instructors who tailor every session to individual needs, whether a first encounter with a horse or working toward competition dressage. Three arenas provide year-round all-weather capacity: two covered indoor schools (20×60m and 20×40m) alongside an outdoor arena. Beyond mounted riding, the programme includes carriage driving for wheelchair users who cannot ride, pony days, and hacking. As a BHS Approved Centre licensed by Leeds City Council, Middleton Park is one of the flagship inclusive equestrian venues in the North of England.

Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
