Cannington Equestrian Centre

Welcome to Cannington Equestrian Centre, a British Horse Society (BHS) approved training and exam centre based in Somerset, proudly a part of Bridgwater & Taunton College.

Bridgwater & Taunton College offers a variety of land-based courses, including Equine Studies.

The centre is open to the public all-year round, and our BHS APC’s offer quality instruction on our wide variety of horses or on your own. Private and group lessons are available for riders (aged 11 years+), alongside evening stable management lectures and holiday activities such as clear round jumping days and friendly dressage shows.

The facilities, available to hire, include an indoor arena (42m x 22m), an outdoor arena (50m x 40m), a range of show jumps, fillers, portable cross-country fences and three stable blocks to house our quality school horses, which cater for all riding abilities. We also have use of classrooms for training courses. A team of experienced British Horse Society qualified instructors provide the riding tuition.
