Devenish Pitt Riding School

 

The Banks family have run this Riding School since the early 1960's. We offer hacks and lessons from a friendly team of very experienced and/or qualified instructors. We stress the safety of our riders and horses and have a superb family of reliable horses and ponies to suit all sizes and abilities of riders.

LESSONS are given in the indoor school or outside menage. Novice riders can learn how to merely sit and control the horse or the more experienced rider, to ride a dressage test or course of show jumps. Group or private lessons can be arranged. Regular riders can join the British Horse Society Riding Proficiency Scheme working towards different levels and are awarded certificates and badges for their skills accomplished. This eventually leads riders to the BHS examinations.

RIDING FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES BEGINNERS AND THE VERY NERVOUS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

 

HACKS are available in our beautiful countryside. We have numerous routes over our 260-acre farm and common, local bridleways and forestry. We can offer quiet family rides in the valley or faster cross country rides with optional cross country obstacles on route.

Children's Half Day at the Stables Children can enjoy a fully supervised morning or afternoon. They have a lesson or hack and learn about pony care and management. Sessions run from 9am-12.30pm and 1.30-5pm.

SELF-CATERING HOLIDAYS  Stay in our luxurious cottage or farm house wing. Ride every day or just enjoy the quiet tranquillity of the countryside around you. Numerous walks and local places of interest with fishing, golf, beaches etc. minutes away. Farm animals and pets.
