About this activity

Earnsdale Farm Riding School is a haven for families seeking a day packed with adventure, fun, and unforgettable experiences. For the youngest members of the family, Earnsdale Farm Riding School offers a delightful introduction to the world of horseback riding with their pony rides. These gentle, well-trained ponies provide a safe and thrilling experience for children. Kids as young as three years old can enjoy a short pony ride, guided by experienced instructors. As they sit in the saddle, a sense of wonder and excitement fills their eyes, and the smiles are contagious.

If your child is a budding equestrian, the "Pony Experience" is a must-try. This extended 30-minute ride allows them to get comfortable with the pony, learn some basic riding skills, and even bond with their new four-legged friend. It's an excellent way to foster a love for horses from a young age.

For older kids and adults, Earnsdale Farm Riding School offers group riding lessons that provide both education and exhilaration. These 45-minute sessions are conducted by certified instructors who ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all levels of riders, from beginners to advanced equestrians.

Families can join these group lessons together, making it a fantastic bonding experience. As you learn the fundamentals of riding and navigate the course, the laughter and camaraderie create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

If you prefer a more personalized approach to horseback riding, Earnsdale Farm Riding School also offers private lessons. These 30-minute one-on-one sessions with a dedicated instructor allow riders to focus on their specific goals and improve their riding skills at their own pace. Whether you're a seasoned rider looking to refine your technique or a beginner seeking extra attention, private lessons provide the perfect platform.

One of the true gems of Earnsdale Farm Riding School is the opportunity to explore the beautiful Lancashire countryside on horseback. The scenic trail rides are a fantastic adventure for families who want to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.

The one-hour trail ride takes you through rolling hills, lush forests, and along picturesque streams. It's a chance to connect with nature, breathe in the fresh country air, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The horses are sure-footed and well-trained, making this experience suitable for riders of varying levels of experience.

For those seeking a more extended journey, the two-hour trail ride is a must. It offers an even deeper immersion into the countryside, taking you to more remote and breathtaking locations. As you ride through meadows and woodlands, you might spot local wildlife, making this an educational and enchanting experience for the whole family.
