Welcome to Glen Jakes Riding School

Glen Jakes Riding School is a family run business, with a friendly relaxed atmosphere to make you feel at ease. Our qualified helpful staff provide educational, informative, fun riding lessons for all. We are open all year round, on Mondays for Pony Club training and events, Tuesday - Friday daytime and evenings 9am - 9pm, Saturday - Sunday 9am - 7pm.

We have established an outstanding reputation since 1990. The key to our success is that we provide a complete range of activities to suit all levels of riding abilities from complete beginners to advanced level. Our flexible timetable enables you to ride at a time that suits you.

We provide a high standard of tuition on our well mannered horses and ponies, because your safety is paramount. Hat hire is available at no extra cost (if required). No other riding equipment needs to be purchased for you to ride with us.

We can now accommodate children of any age, they can participate in all activities we offer. We would suggest starting initially with 1/2 hour walkouts and private lessons. All riders under the age of 4 years of age, an additional fee of £3.00 would be charged per rider, since all riders under 4 would be accompanied by two members of the Glen Jakes Yard Team.

We provide:-

• Walkouts

• Private and Semi Private lessons
• Fun but very informative Stable Management courses
• Own your own Pony days/weeks

Can You Help?

If you are not already aware, we have been trying to obtain planning permission for a cover, initially over our top arena.
We have submitted a planning application for a large covered structure, with open ends and roller sides. This will give it an outside feel whilst protecting you from the British weather conditions. The Planning Office has requested letters to support this application. We would greatly appreciate any help you could provide, via a letter and signing our petition, in order for us to be granted permission. Please address letters to The Planning Office (Hand into the riding school or e-mail us glenjakes@aol.com) Letters should include how the cover will improve the overall riding experience at Glen Jakes Riding School.

Gift Vouchers

Glen Jakes Riding School gift vouchers make an ideal gift. Why not treat a family member or friend to a unique, unforgettable experience. Our vouchers are available for all our activities, including riding equipment we have for sale. These are available to purchase from as little as £1.50, and can be redeemed to suit you, since they have no expiry date. Simply contact us to organise your chosen activity. Our flexible timetable enables us to offer a variety of days and times to suit you.

At Glen Jakes we realise that fun is an essential part of learning. We are keen to see progress in our riders, therefore Glen Jakes Riding School certificates are awarded for each level of riding / stable management achieved. Set your goal and leave the rest to us.
