There is information about our lessons, which we provide for both adults and children, pony days and other events.You will also find links to contact us, and some history about the Centre based in Warwickshire.
We at Holly Riding School are very excited by the opportunities this site presents to keep in touch with you, our customers, and to be able to share with you all the latest news from the Centre.
The Centre has been open since 1976 and in that time we have taught thousands of students to ride from Warwickshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. Over the last few years the centre has had some considerable improvements and are now quite proud of the new improved look and feel.
We pride ourselves on being a family friendly centre with a strong community feeling and an emphasis on safety and fun.
