Birtles Equestrian is a friendly and welcoming horse riding school located in the beautiful Cheshire countryside of Cranage, just outside Holmes Chapel. With a focus on horsemanship and trust, Birtles Equestrian aims to provide a professional yet nurturing environment suitable for riders of all ages and levels.
Whether you are a beginner looking to master the rising trot or an advanced rider seeking to further develop your skills, Birtles Equestrian is dedicated to catering to individual needs. The well-run family business, complemented by outside staff, ensures a positive, knowledgeable, and safe atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
The riding school offers a range of services, including riding lessons in various styles such as private, group, and semi-private lessons. During the spring and summer months, riders also have the option to ride outside and experience the beauty of the surrounding countryside. For beginners, lunging is incorporated into lessons to provide a sense of security and promote independent thinking and listening skills. This allows riders to learn the rising trot, understand beats and pace, and develop their confidence with the horse.
Lessons take place in both small groups and in one-on-one settings to ensure personalised instruction.
In addition to riding lessons, Birtles Equestrian also provides natural healing services, including reiki, healing hands, and therapeutic time spent with the horses themselves. This holistic approach to well-being aims to enhance the physical and emotional connexion between horses and humans.
For existing clients, Birtles Equestrian offers a horse loaning scheme as well as fun pony days, events, and competitions. These opportunities allow riders to strengthen their bond with horses, build their skills, and participate in the equestrian community.
The riding school boasts impressive on-site facilities, including an enclosed indoor arena measuring 20 × 40 metres, as well as two outdoor riding fields that can also be utilised as a jumping paddock. For those seeking more adventurous experiences, Birtles Equestrian offers a Cross Country course located within its fields. All facilities are maintained to a high standard and are easily accessible to riders.
The qualified and experienced staff at Birtles Equestrian are passionate about teaching and providing guidance. Their expertise ensures that riders receive sound instruction that is tailored to their individual needs and goals.
While Birtles Equestrian has a rich and established history dating back over 65 years, the business continues to evolve and grow. With the introduction and training of new horses and ponies, as well as the expansion of the customer base for both the riding school and healing practise, Birtles Equestrian remains committed to providing exceptional services.
Operating under ABRS Approved status, Birtles Equestrian ensures the safety and well-being of all riders through up-to-date First Aid Training and Safeguarding Training. The riding school holds a Cheshire East Council Licence to further guarantee its compliance with industry standards.
