The Guilford Riding School

We are a traditional English-style riding stable with a modern philosophy--anyone can learn to ride our quality school HORSES and enjoy all of the ACTIVITIES we offer without hidden additional costs. You will feel among friends, that the horses are safe and well cared-for, and that you can progress at your own pace. We offer group lessons for adults, young adults, children and we even have a special program called Mini-Mights for kids age 5-8. You will ride in our huge outdoor arena next to a spring-fed pond graced by a weeping willow, or in inclement weather, in our Indoor Arena. Friends and family can watch from our ampitheatre hillside or snuggle-up in our heated observation area.

Our LESSONS are structured so that you will never be disappointed. Our staff will have your horse tacked and ready for you when you arrive. Mini-Mights ride for a half-hour in a group of three on our oldest and quietest horses. Children and young adults ride for an hour in a group no larger than five. Adult lessons are in the mornings and at 7 p.m. and are usually smaller. Please see our JUST THE FACTS page for specifics.

We welcome beginners, those with some experience and advanced riders. Our staff and top riders form the EVENTING TEAM--they compete in dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping. Six of our twelve school horses event at Novice level in New England's USEA Area One.
