Court Equestrian is a long-established horse riding school and livery yard located in Worcester. With experienced instructors, excellent facilities, and a wide range of horses and ponies, it is one of the largest yards in the area.
The school was founded in 1995 and has since become a trusted member of the Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS). It is licenced and inspected by the Malvern Hills District Council, ensuring that all safety and welfare standards are met. Court Equestrian also boasts qualified NVQ assessors and coaches, offering City & Guilds qualifications in Horse Care and similar courses.
Court Equestrian offers a variety of services catering to riders of all levels and ages. From novice to experienced riders, and from tiny tots to seniors, there is something for everyone. Students can learn to ride, improve their skills, keep their horse or pony on livery, join short courses, or enrol in year-long City & Guilds courses for personal enjoyment or professional development. The school also provides an alternative option for 16-18 year olds, allowing them to replace school with equine studies.
The school has two outdoor riding schools and a state-of-the-art indoor arena, providing a wide range of riding lessons. Group lessons are available for riders at a similar level, while private lessons offer personalised attention. In addition, riders can enjoy scenic hacks in the local countryside, accompanied by an instructor or experienced helper.
In terms of livery services, Court Equestrian offers flexible options that can be customised to meet individual needs. Full livery includes feed, bedding, turn out, and general supervision and care, while working livery allows the school to use the horse or pony for lessons and hacks.
For those seeking formal qualifications, Court Equestrian offers City & Guilds NVQ courses. These courses run annually, and students aged 16-18 have the opportunity to attend full-time instead of traditional schooling. Adults can also attend part-time, gaining valuable experience and a recognised qualification.
During school holidays, Court Equestrian organises a range of fun activities, including stable management courses, shows, competitions, and residential or non-residential camps in the summer. The school also caters to parties and events, offering children's birthday parties, adult party experiences, and even hen parties. For schools and colleges, there is an introduction to the countryside and horses package.
Court Equestrian is fully approved and licenced by the Malvern Hills District Council, with a five-star rating. It is also a member of and inspected by The Association of British Riding Schools. The school has comprehensive insurance coverage to ensure the safety of all participants.
