Mill House Equestrian Centre
About this yard
Mill House Equestrian Centre at Bradford Mills, Bradford-on-Tone near Taunton, was established in 1961 by Sue, Stan and Barry Venn. The yard sits on the south Somerset Tone valley and combines a livery and loan operation with on-site accommodation: a Lakeside Lodge (sleeps 4) with its own pebble beach on the River Tone, and a riverside shepherd's hut. Lessons and pony loans are available alongside the livery offer. Weddings and events are run from a separate part of the site. Teaching is arena-based rather than trekking or hacking out, lessons focus on flatwork, jumping and dressage fundamentals under founder Barry Venn's direct, hands-on style, which several long-standing riders credit with teaching them properly from the ground up.
