Welcome to Richmond

Richmond Equestrian Centre is situated off the A1 between the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. (For a map and full directions click here).Set in nearly 100 acres is is the most picturesque of equestrian venues.

As a competition venue REC boasts some of the finest facilities in the North of England. The large indoor arena allows us to offer both affiliated and unaffiliated Show Jumping and Dressage as well as providing an excellent facility for teaching and lecture demonstrations. Complemented by three all weather outdoor arenas and a large working hunter complex there is plenty of space to ride whatever the weather.

Richmond Equestrian Centre is renowned for its efficiently run competitions, good prizes, excellent food and clean toilets.

During the Spring months, as well as Show Jumping and Dressage, the Eventing season gets underway. Built in 45 acres our cross country fences cater excellently for novice horses and riders. From 2'6" to 3'6" all fences are built to British Eventing standards, most benefiting from all weather take off and landings. Every year we run the REC One Day Event with classes at 2' 9" and 3'. During 2002 we added the REC Two Day Event which included the Roads and Tracks and Steeplechase phases of cross country normally associated with a three day event. We also ran our inaugural Affiliated Horse Trials at Intro and Pre Novice levels. During 2004 we will be running two Affiliated Horse Trials and also adding a 3' 6" course allowing us to run up to Novice level.

All facilities are available to hire both by the hour and by the day. See the price list for further information.

Richmond Equestrian Centre is also a thriving livery yard with 45 permanent stables offering DIY livery. Liveries have free use of the facilities when available including use of the horse walker and the cross country course when open. For more information on livery see the livery pages.

We hope to see you soon.
