Wardhaugh Farm Riding Centre
About this yard
Wardhaugh Farm Riding Centre is based at Inverkeithny near Huntly in Aberdeenshire, on the banks of the River Deveron, and is the only indoor riding school in the area. Lessons run for all abilities, from complete beginners through to experienced riders, alongside pony trekking, BHS stage training, cross-country riding and birthday parties. It is also a Pony Club centre, running badge days.
The site covers 82 acres of all-year-round turnout, some of it providing the farm's own hay. Facilities include a covered 40m x 20m arena, an outdoor arena, showjumps, great hacking through woods and tracks, and a tack shop on site. Livery is offered across full, part, working, DIY, assisted DIY, holiday, grass, schooling and retirement options, with a maximum of 10 horses at livery, 24/7 supervision and daily poo-picked fields.
