Good news everybody! ✨
Our group lessons will be starting the week beginning Monday 19th April to coincide with the children’s return to school.
We strongly advise all our riders to fit in a private lesson before returning to your class lessons, if you haven’t already booked one please give the office a call......
We can’t wait to see you all! Not long now
A huge thank you to our wonderful riders who have kindly made donations for the upkeep of our very special horses.  Your support is invaluable as we continue to care for our horses during this difficult period. 
We appreciate it is a difficult time for everyone but if any other riders wish to help then you can do so by donating the money from your pre-paid lessons. This would mean we can use that money for the upkeep of the horses. So, if you feel you can help, then please call the office on 01903 882061 and leave a message or send a Facebook message. 
​Thank you all for your loyalty and support from all at the Arundel Riding Centre and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Welcome to the Arundel riding centre

We are a BHS approved riding centre located in Arundel - West Sussex.
Here, we give lessons on horse riding for a range of different levels and individual needs.
Our horses and ponies are able to work with a variety of different riders, from beginners to the more experienced, children to adults and lessons can be of select duration and type. For more information on lessons and booking click the lessons and activities page.
For instructions on how to find us go to the location page.

Our history

The 'Arundel Farm Riding and Driving Centre' was started by Joy Leggett in 1960. Originally, she started with just a couple of ponies and only a handful of stables,  but over many years and with a lot of hard work the business grew. The indoor school was built, more ponies and customers came flooding in. Now the 'Arundel Riding Centre' is run by Alison Leggett and her team of dedicated, qualified staff. Improvements are always being made to ensure the best environment we can provide for both people and ponies. To learn more about the facilities available to visitors, see staff and facilities. To have a look at which ponies you may get to see, go to horses and ponies. Then why not come and meet them in person.
Throughout the year we hold Dressage competitions, Clear round jumping, Riding holidays, Pony days and pony parties.  To keep up to date with the events that are happening have a look on our events page.
