Our horses
Our horses are the real stars of our show! We are very lucky at Bidlake Riding Stables to have such wonderful characters, calm, good natured, experienced and hugely loved by us all.
We take great care to make sure our guests are partnered with the horse that is best suited to their riding experience and we have a great team to choose from.
We really hope you have fun getting to know our horses but remember – it is very important that we match the rider to the horse. With children especially, please ensure they understand in advance that they will not be able to choose the horse they ride.

Pebbles
Pebbles may be small but he’s an energetic, happy, bouncy chap full of life!
Jo Jo
Our Welsh cross is a great character and often the leader on our trips out. Jo Jo gets on well with everyone.

A huge hit with everyone, Polo is a popular boy and makes friends easily.
