Northaw Manor Equestrian Centre

Northaw Manor Equestrian Centre sits within a 560-acre private estate near Potters Bar, close to the North London border. The estate's scale gives it a range of terrain that is genuinely difficult to replicate at a smaller venue, bridleways, hacking routes and a cross-country course across varied country, all privately managed and not shared with the public.

The centre runs a regular programme of clinics and competitions throughout the year: cross-country schooling days, showjumping clinics, dressage sessions and affiliated competitions, all taught by BHS-qualified instructors. Riding lessons and hacking are available alongside the clinic programme, as are children's pony days and birthday parties.

Livery is available in full, part and DIY formats with year-round turnout. The combination of a well-managed schooling infrastructure and the extensive natural estate makes it a practical base for event riders and a more unusual choice for leisure riders who want to get off the arena surface occasionally. The riding school side of the operation, trading as Northaw Riding School, was established in 2012 to meet demand for BHS lessons in North London and Hertfordshire; group lessons run at a maximum of 8 students per instructor, alongside private and semi-private sessions, stable management courses and event days. Cuffley station is 2.4 miles away and Potters Bar station 3.4 miles.
