Park View Riding School
About this yard
Park View Riding School has been a trusted fixture of the Leicester equestrian scene since 1982, operating from 80 acres of countryside near Thurcaston. Holding ABRS+ membership, the highest tier of ABRS accreditation, the centre employs a team of four full-time and four part-time BHS-qualified instructors delivering lessons for children aged 5 and above and adults at all ability levels. The 80-acre setting enables genuine off-road hacking around Bradgate National Trust Park and Swithland Woods, complemented by regular pub rides and an extensive holiday programme. Seasonal activities include pony days, own-a-pony weeks, and in-house dressage and jumping competitions held on-site, giving riders both skill development and early competitive experience in a friendly environment.
