Twin Trees in Northill, Bedfordshire offers purpose built equestrian facilities and services, a range of horses and ponies to suit all sizes and abilities with instructors to help every step of the way (maximum weight 13 stone). (Riding School is closed on Fridays & Sundays- although centre is open for other events and private hire!)

Tuition starts at 6 years old through to small adult. Lessons are given in the Arenas and occassionally in the paddocks. This gives our riders a good grounding and wide range of experiences in their riding. Our aim is to cater for both beginners and the more experienced rider to sample the excitement of riding for the first time, through to the more experienced rider wishing to brush up on and perfect their techniques!

Beginner children are taught privately until the instructor feels they are competent enough to join a small novice class.

Adults are taught privately so that the lesson can be structured to your individual requirements. During term time private intensive short courses can be arranged.

We do not offer Hacking or Trekking.

Members may also bring their own horses for tuition both on the flat and jumping.
