“Make it happen.”
Whether you have a horse-mad child, galloping around over cushions in your lounge, or you’re a busy mum sat at a desk every week wishing you were sat in the saddle again, we are here to give our students that fix.
As a riding school and grazing facility, we aim to do things differently; with quality instruction and education, in a friendly and safe environment, we hope to make the dream of riding or owning horses a reality for our clients.
Our horses are true unicorns: full of personality, and permanent members of the family, owned personally by each individual family member. They are adjustable, multi-talented, and are kept keen through variety and an array of riders and activities. These horses are incredibly special to us; some of them have been with us since they were a yearling, some have taught family members to ride and have been around for many ‘firsts.’ Each mount has a wonderful story behind them, as to how they ended up with us. Our entire ethos is centered around caring for these irreplaceable horses.
All students must apply via our application form to ride at Belmont; we also do not take students on a casual basis. We also offer a number of enrichment programs around educating riders throughout the year, exclusive to our students.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Our Mission.
The Belmont Difference.
From the moment we started our riding school, we aimed to do things differently. Not only do we provide the ‘full picture’ of offerings when it comes to introducing the concept of horse ownership into your life, but we also lead by example providing 6* care for our horses and the land. All Belmont Unicorns receive regular quality farrier care, saddle fit, vet care and physio. Often when people visit the farm, they note the health of our horses, and their happiness in their work (although like humans, we all have our off days!) Any excess profit at the end of the year is donated to deserving equine charities.
Our organisation is known for our high level of fun yet safe coaching style, small class sizes, and our ability to work with riders, grazers and families to help them achieve the knowledge and support they require on a case-by-case basis.
Unicorn HALL OF FAME.
In celebration of the unicorns we love, and have loved, past and present, in the paddocks at Belmont, or the paddocks in the sky; the special horses that have captured our hearts.
