Sandwell Valley Riding Centre has been a cornerstone of equestrian provision in the West Midlands for over 35 years, operating from within the Sandwell Valley Country Park, a rare opportunity for urban riders to access horses in a natural, parkland setting. As an ABRS+ approved school, quality of instruction is central to the operation. Group and private lessons are available for children from age 4 and adults at all levels, with weekend group hacks along the valley's parkland trails for more experienced riders. Day camps run during school holidays, and the centre has a track record of catering to riders with special needs, making inclusion a genuine priority alongside the standard lesson programme. Birthday parties and school group visits are also available.

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.
