About this yard

Tarden Farm Riding Stables sits at 100 Gibb Lane, Mellor in the foothills of the Peak District, just outside Stockport. The yard specialises in hacking out for experienced riders rather than running a traditional riding school programme; novice lessons and beginner treks are not offered. Off-road hacking access onto the Peak fringes is the headline draw. Booking and updates run primarily through the Tarden Farm Facebook page.

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.

Footwear

Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.

Clothing

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.

Hair & jewellery

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.
