Coworth Park

Equestrian

Discover our beautiful estate whilst enjoying a trot amongst our finest horses.

Have you ever been on a horse? Would you like to try? Clip-clopping along at a gentle walking pace, this is the finest way to explore the huge estate, breathe in fresh air, relax into the moment and experience life from a new perspective. Even for the complete beginner, there’s no feeling of freedom quite like the adventure of being in the saddle.

Riding lessons

Beautifully bred, well trained and immaculately presented horses are available for all abilities to ride across our 240 acre private estate.There is no end of opportunity to explore the beautiful Berkshire countryside from the unmistakable viewpoint of being on horseback. For those wishing to improve their riding ability further, we offer one-to-one or group lessons in basic riding, dressage and jumping on your own horses or on our selection of well trained schoolmaster horses and ponies.

Lessons for children

As well as an exciting way to explore, horse riding also adds fun variety to your exercise routine. It’s great for balance, posture, coordination – and gives your mind a complete break from its usual thinking patterns.

Pony experience

Coworth Park’s younger guests are invited to spend two fun hours at the stables. Here they will learn how to groom and care for their own special pony, tack up and go out for a fun riding lesson to suit their ability before taking home their own Coworth Park grooming kit bag filled with horsey goodies including a photo of them with their pony. This is one of our favourite activities as it’s always full of such happiness.

Children’s Birthday parties

Our team of ponies and staff are waiting to create and host a perfect pony party for groups of four children or more. As well as a lot of cuddling they can brush and plait the ponies’ manes, paint their hooves and make their coats gleam before tacking up and enjoying some easy gymkhana games such as bending poles, sack races, apple bobbing and much more. They then re-fuel with a pony themed feast in the Coworth Park Kids Club and a bespoke birthday cake before kissing their pony goodbye and taking home their very own Coworth Park party bag and a lot of happy memories.
