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.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
