Witham Villa Riding Centre has been delivering quality equestrian education from Broughton Astley since 1992. Holding 5-star BHS, ABRS, and Local Authority approval, the centre maintains the highest standards across tuition, horse welfare, and facilities. Instructors include a British Dressage Accredited Trainer, and visiting national and international clinicians run show jumping, cross-country, and dressage clinics throughout the year. Lessons are available from age 4 in private, semi-private, and group formats, taking riders from their first experience on a horse through to competition preparation. Witham Villa has been a registered Pony Club Centre since 2002 and is also a British Riding Club Centre, giving non-horse-owning riders access to national programmes, badges, and tests. The centre operates as a BHS exam centre up to Stage 2 and a Where to Train approved venue for BHS CCH qualifications.
