About this yard
Oxenfoord Equestrian Centre sits just off the A68 between Dalkeith and Pathhead, making it one of the most conveniently located equestrian facilities near Edinburgh. Set on a working farm that grows its own straw, hay, and haylage, the yard takes pride in the quality of feed and care for horses on livery. The family-run operation cultivates a warm, inclusive atmosphere welcoming riders of all disciplines. Two floodlit outdoor schools with rubber and sand mix surfaces are available to all liveries. Flat and jumping instruction is available from BHS AI UKCC Level 2 qualified instructors. Oxenfoord is also notable as a hub for Working Equitation in Scotland, hosting the WE Training Competition Series events and clinics. Dressage shows are held on-site through the competition season.
