Yorkshire Equestrian Centre
About this yard
Yorkshire Equestrian Centre is a premier competition and training venue at South Milford, between Leeds and Selby. The site hosts affiliated and unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, arena eventing and showing competitions throughout the year, with arena eventing using purpose-built XC fences. Additional facilities include an equine water treadmill (hydrotherapy) for rehabilitation and conditioning, and a range of livery options.
Arena hire is available for private schooling and training, with the indoor arena, Quarry Arena and cross-country field bookable online. Resident trainer Gemma offers coaching clinics on site. External clinics from visiting professionals are also hosted. The venue is primarily competition and event-focused, it does not operate a public riding school.
