South Leicestershire Riding Establishment
About this yard
South Leicestershire Riding Establishment (SLRE) holds both BHS 5-star Local Authority approval and BHS Where to Train status, credentials reflecting the quality of instruction and horse care at this venue near Leire, Lutterworth. BHS inspectors have commended the condition of the horses and the tidiness of the yard. The training team is led by Paul Davies, who brings eventing experience from grassroots through to 4-star level, supported by event riders Lottie Kennedy and Sam Gillespie, an unusually strong competition pedigree for a rural riding school. Infrastructure includes a 20×40m indoor school and a 30×70m outdoor ménage with a covered horse walker. Weekend clear-round jumping and dressage competitions are held on-site, and the yard offers livery from DIY to full.
