About

Aberdeen Riding Club is a non-profit making riding club, meaning that all session fees and membership is ploughed directly back into the company, purchasing better equipment, horses, improving the facility and offering valuable assistance to local charities.

Most importantly, Aberdeen Riding Club is renowned in the North-East of Scotland for its high quality instruction, horse welfare and instructor training. This is recognised through our “highly commended” status (British Horse Society) and in our 2013 award for “outstanding achievement” from the BHS.

When you ride with Aberdeen Riding Club you are guaranteed high quality instruction and horses, but also ensuring that you are putting something back into the community with your lesson fees and supporting a riding club that prioritises horse welfare and happiness. 

We support two local Riding for the Disabled Association groups (through subsidising their horse costs) and Befriend a Child (through providing free riding to any children who attend through that charity).

Why not make your lesson fees count? Choose the best… Choose Aberdeen Riding Club.
