Please can we ask when visiting the centre you drive slowly into the car park. The centre at times can be very busy with clients disabled and able bodied walking from the car park to their lessons, liveries, volunteers, horses being turned out and cats/dogs about. If you are dropping off please drive slowly into the car park.
EASY FUNDRAISING: It's the easiest way to raise money for our charity, all you have to do is register and then shop in your normal way through the app or save it to your browser and it will come up if a donation is available. You still get all the offers and savings from shops. PLEASE REGISTER. It can make a difference to charities and will not cost you any extra money.
We've registered Leybourne Grange Riding Centre for disabled with #Easyfundraising, which means over 7,000 brands will now donate to us for FREE every time you use #Easyfundraising to shop with them.

What's happened this month:
We are slowly moving through our waiting list which is now slightly shorter. If you have been on the waiting list for a considerable time, please do give us a call to see where you are, or to see if we may have a "cancellation" one off lesson for you to try.
Please be aware that we now weigh all riders when they come to the stables to ensure they are within our maximum weight of 14 stone / 88.9 kilos, thus we are not asking our horses to work with additional weight. It would be greatly appreciated if you could weigh the rider prior to requesting any lessons, which would alleviate any anxiety in arriving for a lesson, to then be weighed and us informing you that you are above our maximum weight limit. Unfortunately, we do not have any horses available at our centre to allow for riders over 14 stone.
If you have concerns with regards to this please do speak to a member of staff.
Leybourne Grange continues to look for any voluntary "handy persons", if you think you would be able to help in fixing a fence, doing some painting, mowing, strimming and other help around the centre, please do give us a call or use the contact us form to send an email.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND YOUR LESSON IF YOU HAVE COVID OR COVID SYMPTOMS.
Covid is still out there amongst all of the seasonal colds and flu. If a member of your household has covid and you do not have symptoms you may attend your lesson, please do not attend with a person who has symptoms.
Please note when paying on arrival for your lesson we do NOT have any card facilities therefore we only accept Cash and Cheques.
Please remember that we have a 48hr cancellation policy, if your lesson is not cancelled with 48 hours notice you will be expected to pay for the cancelled lesson.
Just a reminder: people who regularly cancel without a good reason will not be able to retain their regular lesson. we will continue to place clients on our waiting list as requested.
Supporting us: If you would like to make a donation to help towards the horses keep we have a PayPal Donation account - the link is at the top of this page.
Just a few examples of prices:
Bag of carrots = £1, Bale of hay = £6, Feed = £10, large round bale of hay they have in the field = £40.
Of course, we know this year has and may continue to be tough for many people, but we would appreciate any help you are able to give, please support the centre while shopping on line by registering with Easyfundraising, the link is at the top of the page and is no cost to you, but does benefit our charity. Thank you so very much.
48 Hour Cancellation Policy
Please can we remind all riders/parents/carers that we have a 48hr cancellation policy. We are a self funding charity - and as such we need to ensure we have money coming in to pay for all of our expenditure. Failure to provide 48 hours notice of cancellation will result in the payment for that lesson being expected at the following lesson.
If you are not able to keep your regular lesson then please speak to a member of staff.
If you change your mind and no longer want your lessons then please phone us, leave a message or send an email from our contact page to cancel your future lessons.
We will not hold any spaces unless you have contacted us.
We are open 7 days a week from 9:00am to 5:30pm. All lessons must be booked via telephone or in our office, we do not take lesson bookings or cancellations via this websites email. Please give us a call on 01732 872844 to discuss your requirements. Lesson prices are available on the Riders tabs above together with information about suitable attire to wear for a lesson.
