Meet the Lodge Farm Team

Here at Lodge Farm we have a most experienced team of instructresses and management able to fulfil all your requirements. We are able to teach the complete beginners through to the more experienced competition riders. All our staff are qualified in their own area of expertise, whether it be with the British Horse Society, City and Guilds or N.V.Q. They are all D.B.S. checked and have gone through both safeguarding and first aid training. Our in house training is ongoing in order to comply with our governing bodies.
