About this yard

Prestige Equestrian is a BHS-approved centre located on Bath Road, Hardwicke, south of Gloucester. The facility specialises in providing quality schoolmaster horses for riders of all levels, from Novice through to Grand Prix dressage and up to 1.20m showjumping, with the goal of improving rider confidence, technique and competition readiness. The centre runs a dual operation, a training and lesson yard alongside a competition show centre. Two outdoor arenas are available for hire, and the facility has a strong track record of hosting affiliated and unaffiliated dressage and showjumping events. With qualified, experienced coaches on site and a range of horses to ride, Prestige Equestrian is particularly well-suited to amateur riders seeking structured progression or a confidence-building experience in a professional environment.
