About this yard
Glenpark Equestrian is a private livery yard in Balerno on the southwestern edge of Edinburgh, giving resident horses access to the Pentland Hills Regional Park bridleway network. The yard focuses on livery provision rather than public riding tuition, and availability of public lessons is limited. The Pentland Hills location offers serious off-road hacking across varied hill terrain within a short ride from the yard gate.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
