Redesdale Equestrian is situated in the picturesque surrounds of the Redesdale Valley between the villages of Otterburn and Elsdon and within a 40 minute drive of Newcastle, Hexham and Alnwick.
We are fully insured, licensed and Local Authority approved to provide riding lessons for adults and children of all ages and abilities, as well as pony care sessions and stable management training to complement your riding. We also offer private and semi-private escorted trekking for experienced riders.
We offer livery, breaking, schooling and competition services for all types of horse, as well as training grassroots and leisure riders with their own horses.
Our yard is home to an array of horses and ponies, from riding school ponies to happy hackers and competition horses. All of our four legged (and two legged!) friends have their needs individually catered for in a relaxed, friendly and professional environment and we pride ourselves in providing the highest standard of equine care and customer service.
What’s going on at Redesdale?
Possibly not the most exciting of developments but an improvement nevertheless… The barn roofs are now painted and it really does make a difference!
Always said you had the neatest yard I’ve ever seen (and guttering too !!)
Getting used to the current new ‘normal’ with liveries now able to ride again. The riding school horses are being brought back into work, with the hope of starting a phased return to ‘normal‘ throughout June 😀🐴👏 It is likely, while strict social distancing guidelines are in place, that we will start with riders with their own hats (& optional body protectors) who are able to mount and adjust girth/stirrups without assistance in order to keep two metres apart in line with Government guidelines.
This also means schooling liveries and lessons on your own horse can commence from the beginning of June 🐎
If you are interested, please get in touch ☎️
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank god!!! Lucy is REALLY missing her second family! (Her words)
Great news Helen Self Dodd, Can’t imagine how difficult it’s been for all of you. I’ve really missed my Friday Monty (and Helen!) time - I’m looking forward to my lessons again (with the most patient horse and teacher).
Well done, must be difficult, but I am sure the new normal will be appreciated by everyone, horses included.
Alice is desperate to get back for a lesson but we've got a plus 1 - Ellen's wanting a lesson too
👋🏻👋🏻 hello!!! A horse coming your way soon 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
30 minutes to ease me back in....
Fantastic opportunity for aspiring eventer on a budget
For Loan – to stay at current yard (NE19 1AF)
16hh, 12 year old grassroots eventer
Would suit confident/ambitious teenager or amateur looking to event.
Charlie is a smart horse and is both comfortable and successful competing at BE90/100 (40 foundation points). He is not however an easy ride all the time. He can occasionally be sharp, tense in the dressage and bucks quite a lot out hacking!
He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body and despite his quirks, is a fun horse for somebody with the time, patience and sensitivity to build a partnership with.
I have five other eventers and while I love this little horse, he is not a priority for me given that BE100 is his ceiling.
If Charlie can find his perfect new rider, I am happy to give them all the help, support and training they need to forge a successful partnership.
This is an amazing opportunity for somebody. Not only to find a new, super-smart horse, but to also to become part of a professional eventing team with all-round support:
• Established eventer to loan and treat as your own
• Superb facilities (including 60 x 30 floodlit arena, grass arena with full set of Jump 4 Joy show jumps, cross country fences, grass gallops)
• Unlimited support from on-site coach
• Become part of a professional eventing team
• Travel to events with the team

Hi my name is Nicola Graham. I am 42 years old. I am interested in taking on your eventer. I have had horses since I was 7.ive one day evented showjumped at Wembley done dressage comps although dressage isnt my favourite prefer the jumping. I had a 17.3 Irish draught who I competed on. He jumped for fun. Unfortunately I had to sell him as none of the farmers around thropton would let me keep him there
Oh wowzers. This is absolutely fab!
Charlie is a lovely boy 😍

⛔️ Riding centres have been advised that they may re-open as long as strict procedures regarding hygiene and bio security are followed. There are a number of factors we need to address before re-opening is viable for us, this includes staffing and horse/pony fitness levels. When we are able to re-open notice will be posted here, but this will not be before the end of May ⛔️
