Yard Details

Riding lessons at SLS are innovative, fun and confidence-boosting. We cater for all abilities, whether complete beginner or advanced rider. Complete beginners will be lead at all times by a competent and a trained, knowledgeable helper.

Hacking is also a huge part of SLS. We are blessed with fantastic countryside around the village and we also conduct our ‘suburban’ rides into Wincanton town which loop back over into the village.

Learning about aspects of horsemanship besides riding is an integral ethos of Stoke Lane Stables; stable management is recognised as one of the main themes of SLS. Fully licensed and insured.

Honestly an amazing yard, well kept and looked after ponies and horses aswell as lots of welcoming and kindness aswell as support to riders, students, helpers and parents. Instructors are just amazing! So glad I found stoke lane stables because they have given me so much, within a year my riding has improved significantly I have found so many friends who make it 100% more fun!! Honestly best yard ever.

A Life-Changing Experience at Stoke Lane StablesStoke Lane Stables has been nothing short of transformational for my daughter. What began as riding lessons quickly blossomed into something far greater. The incredible team here hasn’t just taught her how to ride—they’ve nurtured her confidence, built her self-esteem, and inspired a work ethic and sense of responsibility that carries over into every aspect of her life.Through their patient guidance and encouragement, she’s developed real camaraderie with both the staff and other riders, feeling part of a community that uplifts and supports each other. Watching her grow into a confident, capable young person with a deep love and respect for horses has been one of the greatest joys of my life.Stoke Lane Stables doesn’t just teach riding—they shape lives. I can’t thank them enough for the positive, lasting impact they’ve had on my daughter.
