Queniborough Equestrian Centre
About this yard
Queniborough Equestrian Centre holds a 5-star Local Authority licence and operates from South Croxton Road in Queniborough, maintaining a string of horses and ponies ranging from 13hh to a 17.2hh Shire, genuine breadth for riders of all sizes and abilities. The site is home to Barrowcliffe Cross Country, a standalone cross-country schooling facility with varied fences including ditches, water complexes, and steps. International Event Rider Katie Barber is based at Barrowcliffe and offers private and group jumping and cross-country coaching. The combination of a licensed riding school and a competition-level coaching presence makes Queniborough a distinctive choice for riders looking to bridge recreational riding and competitive eventing preparation in north Leicestershire. Owned by Emma Oakden, who has run the centre for 25 years. Pony Days run in the school holidays, covering grooming, a handy pony course and games, with popular themed days such as Halloween.
