About this yard

Ride High is a registered charity operating an equestrian centre across 37 acres of countryside in Loughton, Milton Keynes. Its mission is to support disadvantaged and vulnerable children across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, and Northamptonshire, providing funded access to horse care and riding for those facing poverty, neglect, abuse, isolation, or poor mental health. All commercial profits from the riding school fund the charitable programme. The public riding school is ABRS+ approved and offers lessons for all ages from 3, hacking across the estate, pony experience days, holiday activity programmes, summer camps, stable management courses, and equine-facilitated wellbeing sessions. Private livery is also available. The dual identity, a thriving commercial riding school and a children's charity with a clear social mission, makes Ride High one of the most distinctive equestrian venues in the South Midlands.
