At Hillview we teach a broad variety of equestrian skills, ranging from beginners lessons to brush up sessions for the experienced rider.
Also, our talented and experienced instructors will tutor you in Dressage, Show-Jumping and Stable Management, helping you to further advance your equestrian experience.

X-COUNTRY:

Hillview has it's own cross-country course built on land owned by the stables, courses are normally run throughout the summer.

LIVERY

We also provide a livery service here at Hillview, stabling and caring for privately owned horses, and full use of our services is provided.
Several horses are stabled here already, some horses have been at livery with us for several years.
Obviously if you want to own a horse but have trouble with finding suitable accommodation, livery is the perfect solution.

SCHOOLS:

For several years now we at Hillview have worked in conjunction with various schools on projects such as Work Experience schemes and Curriculum Enhancement weeks.

The students who come here always enjoy themselves, and we hope to continue working with our local schools for many years to come.

All students who successfully complete their course receive a certificate of merit from Hillview.

Schools, please contact the office for more information.

HACKING:

Here at Hillview you can enjoy a leisurely hack in the beautiful surrounding countryside, along the many miles of bridleways and country lanes that surround the stables. (see the Galleries for pictures of the area)

These hacks last an hour, or two hours, and we do special events on occasion where an all day ride will take you on a longer tour of the local scenery.
One of the great joys of learning to ride is being able to take the horse out into the countryside, riding across fields and seemingly hidden pathways.

Fun:

The important part of what we do...we organise various fun rides for leisure and for Charity throughout the year.

Why not come and join us.
