Witham Villa Riding Centre

Witham Villa Riding Centre, located in Leicester, is a premier equestrian facility that has been providing quality horse riding lessons and services since 1992. Set in the picturesque Leicestershire countryside, the centre is easily accessible from all major road networks.

Catering to riders of all ages and abilities, Witham Villa offers progressive horse riding lessons. It holds a 5-star rating as a British Horse Society (BHS) & Local Authority Approved Riding Establishment. Additionally, it's a BHS Where to Train Approved Centre to BHS CCH and an exam centre to Stage 2, reflecting its commitment to top-notch horse care and instruction.

Witham Villa proudly holds the highest local authority rating of 5 stars. As a Pony Club Centre, it provides non-horse owners the opportunity to join the national organisation and sharpen their riding skills. Pony Club Badge sessions, focusing on theory and knowledge, are held on Monday evenings.

Welcoming riders from the age of 4, Witham Villa prioritises the wellbeing of horse and rider, enforcing a maximum rider weight limit of 14 stone fully dressed. Each horse has an individual weight limit for added safety.

Lessons are customised to individual needs and available as individual, semi-private, or group sessions, lasting either half-hour or 3/4-hour. Riders must register and create an account on the ECpro online platform to book lessons, where they'll be assigned a grading to book future sessions suited to their skill level.

The centre features a viewing gallery and a newly managed café, led by Ruth starting from October 1st. The café accepts card payments and operates during normal business hours, encouraging visitors to support the new management.

For those interested in regular weekly lesson slots, availability can be arranged by contacting Witham Villa via email or through their online registration form. The dedicated team looks forward to welcoming riders of all abilities to experience the joy of horse riding at Witham Villa Riding Centre.
