Somerby Equestrian Centre was established by Gail Stimson in 1991. It has expanded year on year into a first class busy, friendly equestrian centre. Based in the heart of the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, with miles of local bridleways, we offer off road hacking from 1 hour to day rides. With qualified instructors on hand 7 days a week and top quality horses & ponies, we can offer you the best facilities to help you improve your riding skills. Somerby Equestrian Centre is an approved ABRS and BHS riding school, so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands. With the luxury of both an outdoor & an indoor school, we can offer lessons come rain or shine! Somerby Equestrian Centre is an approved Pony Club centre. During the school holidays we run fun children's courses, from Pony days to 5 day residential summer camps. We cater for all, from total beginner to competition rider; from 4 to 104! We look forward to meeting you soon!
I think I could write a book about my experiences at different riding schools but Somerby is still No1. It is a rare find with quality tuition and well loved horses. Something for everyone and fun.
Wish I could be back there now.

Upcoming Events
"Somerby riding school is an amazing place the staff are very friendly and the helpers. Our Jessy has been riding here about a year and a half and has learnt so much and really enjoys her time at the stables. From group lessons to private lessons and pony days she's done them all and absolutely loves her time there. I recommend this place."
