Engine Common Riding School is a professional equestrian facility located between Yate and Rangeworthy in Bristol. Established in the early 1990s, this small and friendly riding school is owned and run by Nichola, a highly experienced and British Horse Society (BHS) qualified instructor with over 30 years of teaching children both at the riding school and local Pony Club.
One of the unique aspects of Engine Common Riding School is that Nichola is the sole instructor, ensuring personal attention and continuity of instruction for each child. This allows for a tailored approach to teaching, enabling students to progress at their own pace and build a strong foundation in horse riding.
The riding school offers lessons for children in a spacious outdoor arena. It is fully insured, licenced, and annually inspected by South Gloucestershire Council, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment.
In addition to lessons at the riding school, Nichola is also available for private riding lessons at your own stables, offering instruction for both adults and children on their own horses or ponies. This provides a convenient option for those who prefer to learn in their familiar environment.
Engine Common Riding School offers a range of activities and services, including private riding lessons, hacks along country lanes and bridle paths, birthday celebrations, and stable management and grooming lessons. These activities not only provide a fun and enjoyable experience for children but also promote fitness, outdoor exploration, and the development of a special bond between rider and horse.
Engine Common Riding School has received glowing reviews from satisfied parents and students. One testimonial by Kelly Windsor highlights the difference Nichola's teaching has made for her children, stating, “I love the fact that my children are challenged, they enjoy their lessons and are proud of their progress. ” This speaks to the high quality of instruction and the positive learning environment that engenders a sense of accomplishment.
