Riding School
Oldencraig Equestrian Centre can provide riding lessons to people of all standards and levels, from a complete novice to an advanced rider. You can bring your own horse or have a lesson on one of our many school horses or for the more advanced rider we have a selection of Grand Prix Schoolmasters.
We have the best facilities in Europe. The Centre has won many awards from the BHS, Kent and Sussex Police (for safety), and British Dressage voted us the best equestrian centre for the last eleven years.
The Financial Times voted Oldencraig in the top 5 Equestrian Centres in the World.
The Daily Telegraph voted Oldencraig in the top 6 of the Best Magnificent country homes with unusual sporting facilities.
