About this yard

Holymoor Riding School sits on the western edge of Chesterfield where the suburbs give way to open Peak District countryside. The centre holds ABRS approval and operates a 40×20 metre outdoor arena for flatwork and jumping tuition, with direct hacking access to the Linacre Reservoirs and the surrounding woodland. The school offers a progressive lesson structure for children and adults, from first experience sessions through to more developed flatwork and pole work. The combination of arena tuition and accessible countryside riding makes it a practical choice for riders who want both disciplines from one yard.
