Cardiff Riding School is the only local authority-operated equestrian centre in Wales, run under the Cardiff Parks and Countryside service. The centre holds BHS approval and is also affiliated with the Riding for the Disabled Association, making it one of the most inclusive venues in the country. Lessons run for children from age three and for adults of all abilities, including those with physical and learning disabilities. The yard operates an indoor school and outdoor arena to provide year-round tuition, and the city location makes it accessible to a wide catchment without the need to travel into the surrounding countryside. Pony rides and introductory sessions are available for the very youngest children.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
