Sidcot Equestrian Centre


Winscombe, Somerset
The advantages of keeping your horse here at the Sidcot Equestrian Centre are numerous including: full access to our facilities which include 30 x 40m floodlit arena, full set of BS jumps, horse walker, solarium, hot shower and off road hacking. We offer a full livery package at £160 per week which includes: Bedding Adlib haylage Stable and field usage (depending on individual requirements) Basic feed (feed supplements not included) All year round turnout In addition to providing a comfortable and clean stable, we will speak with you to ensure (within reason) your horse’s needs are catered for to avoid boredom and the development of bad habits or stress related behaviours. This will be achieved by providing a good yard routine, adequate care, exercise, plenty of variety and human contact. On a routine basis our professional staff will provide: Mucking out Grooming Tack cleaning Supervised free riding sessions Exercise in horse walker Staff can provide extra services at an additional cost. In addition to our livery offer we are able to provide 1:1 or group riding lessons by our highly qualified riding instructors from beginners to advanced riders, this is at an additional cost of £20 for group lessons and £40 for private lessons (on site at Sidcot). All lessons are 1 hour duration. These lessons provide a great opportunity for students to advance their current skills or explore new ones and will be tailored towards the student and their horse. Regardless of which you choose, our floodlit arena will provide an excellent facility for both rider and horse. Keen riders will be encouraged to join the Sidcot Equestrian riding team, which gives them the opportunity to take part in lessons/clinics and team training in a wide range of disciplines. There are regular opportunities to compete both locally and at national events and we are very proud of the school's recent success. Sidcot’s school team are the 2018/2019 NSEA champions and the BS Just For Schools champions 2018/2019. Riding Lessons For those students that do not own their own horse, we have partnered with a local Equestrian Centre, Urchinwood Manor who are a BHS approved livery and riding establishment with British Eventing accreditation.
