About this yard
Pakefield Riding School is one of the oldest and best-known riding schools in East Anglia, close to Pakefield Beach in Lowestoft, Suffolk. BHS-qualified instructors teach riders from age 2 upwards, from complete beginners to advanced, with beach rides, woodland hacks, and a three-hour picnic ride for experienced riders among its signature offerings. The school has been a Riding for the Disabled centre for over 50 years.
Proprietor Tess Hardy won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 Equestrian Business Awards, with the school shortlisted among the UK's top three for Riding School of the Year, and chief instructor Gemma Collison a finalist for Instructor of the Year.
