Otterbourne Riding Centre

Just spending time with horses is great 😊 riding and competing is not necessarily for everyone 🐴

🐴National Inclusion Week reminds us that horses are for all.

🧡 It might be someone stroking a horse for the first time, returning after time away, taking part in their first competition, volunteering or simply enjoying being around horses, everyone should feel welcome.

Just a month to go til our annual Skipton Swimarathon team swimming evening

Any donations gratefully received and any of our regular riders that would like to swim in the team please let Sarah, Caroline or Fiona know 😊

We are all totally devastated to announce that this evening Gort sadly passed away 💔 two very treasured riding school ponies lost so close to each other has left huge holes in all of our hearts 💔

A huge part of our riding school for the past 14 years , teaching many people to ride and his favorite thing galloping on the beach which he enjoyed just last week and looking very happy and well on his Saturday morning lessons just this morning 😢

Some very sad news from Sunday night RIP Super Trooper 💔
