Like all yards, depends on the management. A lot of their services offered will be subsidised but check you're eligible. My local saddle club used to only be for military personnel, families, or a military link with proof, they have now opened to everyone.

Depending on where you are too will have some say in quality of lessons and horses - Bovington is a stage 4 centre and caters for the cavalry, Thorney is far more basic and is used as a Battleback therapy centre first, riding establishment second.
