Mill Farm

Welcome to Mill Farm Stables, a leading horse riding school located in the stunning Cotswold countryside in Cheltenham. As a BHS approved facility, Mill Farm Stables provides top-quality livery, schooling, and tuition services amidst the picturesque English scenery. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, our safe and supportive environment caters to riders of all ages and abilities.

At Mill Farm Stables, we take pride in offering riding lessons for children as young as four years old, giving them the chance to learn and eventually join the Pony Club. We also cater to nervous adults and competition riders, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and empowered. Our experienced instructors and well-trained horses create the perfect setting for riders to develop their skills while enjoying their time in the saddle.

Our livery services provide horses with large, well-ventilated stables and ample bedding to ensure their comfort and health. The horses also enjoy year-round turnout in pairs to minimise the risk of accidents. Additionally, we boast an impressive range of facilities, including a cross-country course, a showjump paddock, and two outdoor arenas. The use of these facilities is complimentary for our livery clients.

If you're looking for full livery, where your horse receives the best possible care, we offer customisable packages tailored to your specific requirements. We can accommodate individual preferences for food, bedding, exercise routines, and turnout schedules. For those interested in hunting livery, Mill Farm Stables offers the opportunity to join the North Cotswold Hunt.

Mill Farm Stables is managed by Pam Pearce-May and her husband Steve, who have transformed it into one of the most reputable equestrian facilities in the region. Pam, a highly experienced competitor and teacher, has trained with renowned equestrians such as Emile Faurie, Carl Hester, and Henk van Bergen. With her expertise, riders at Mill Farm Stables receive top-notch guidance and training to help them reach their equestrian goals.

In addition to our regular services, we frequently organise courses and special sessions. Our popular three-day courses, suitable for children aged five and above, include riding sessions, grooming lessons, and even games on the last afternoon, followed by rosettes for all participants. We also offer private tuition options, focusing on dressage, showjumping, or general riding skills, tailored to individual needs.
