DIY Riding Holiday - searching for the right riding centre

[DollyDay]

Hello all,

I would like to do a DIY riding holiday in the UK and try out some disciplines that I have never tried before. I am trying to find an equestrian centre in the UK that offers flatwork & jumping lessons, preferably with a cross-country course, but that also offer tuition in as many of these as possible! Side-saddle/vaulting/carriage driving/any other more unusual equestrian disciplines I haven't thought of.

I am willing to travel to anywhere in the UK, and find my own (self-catering) accommodation, but I am hoping to find somewhere no higher up than York and preferably within reasonable driving distance of a coast.

I spent two hours Googling earlier to no avail.

Any suggestions/recommendations would be very gratefully received

Valley Farm has a large variety of disciplines available

Thank you for the reply coblets. I found Valley Farm when I was Googling yesterday, but they don't cater for adults during the summer holidays as they are too busy with children, and I need to go away in August

Does it all have to be at one centre? Tall and offer side saddle alongside dressage, show jumping and cross country. Cotswold carriage driving isn’t too far from there and I’m sure you could find other activities locally

Talland would be a good bet

I was about to say Talland too - for the ridden activities at least.

I hadn't found Talland in my searches - and it looks as though it really fits the bill. Shame it's not near the coast but I'm being picky now. Thank you for your replies.
