About the Centre
Holly Riding School was established in 1976 by Mr and Mrs Brown, however, Mr Brown passed away in May 1998, and so his daughter Nicky Wheldon took up the reins and is currently running the school.
The riding school has an excellent reputation for teaching and is now teaching its third generation of local residents with grandparents and parents alike bringing their children to where they learnt to ride. We cater for riders from age 4 onwards and do adult riding lessons. We are a family run business and have a friendly relaxed atmosphere and a loyal client base. We are on the outskirts of Tamworth/Atherstone, Warwickshire and boarder Staffordshire and Coventry. The centre is easily accessable and is 5 minutes from M42 junction 10 and the A5.
