TDS Riding Centre

More than just your average riding school...

Our Services

     TDS stands for "The Dressage Secret"

 

​However, we are not exclusively here just for dressage riders, all riders can benefit from the work we do.

 

Our friendly coaches will ensure you have fun while you learn and our beautifully-trained schoolmasters will make you feel that you have two teachers per lesson!

​

Our training centre offers so much more than is usually available at a local riding school. Our aim is to make dressage less 'elite' and more available for the average rider. We also have specialist jumping training available for those who want it.

​

You will soon be amazed at your security in the saddle as you uncover new depths to your learning, in particular the powerful difference that can be made by addressing biomechanical issues such a core stability, postural difficulties and straightness/one-sidedness in the rider.

Why Choose TDS

Just back from a 3 day stay with friends and our 3 horses.

We have truly discovered a gem here; fantastic b&b for horses and riders!! The hospitality is second to none with friendly and professional staff who clearly love their jobs and love horses. My mare can be a little stressy when away from home but was immediately at home in the warm atmosphere - they know when they are around good people!

 

Being able to spend 3 whole days with Denise was a real treat; an extremely talented trainer who has an amazing ability to tailor her training to the individual needs of each horse and rider. I can't recommend Denise and this equestrian facility highly enough. Planning our next trip.... :-)
