Dovecote Stables is a top quality small equestrian centre and licensed riding school in the beautiful Blackdown Hills. We provide the best possible professional care for horses and riders in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Whether you want lessons on one of our Spanish dressage schoolmasters , a livery service, a horse schooled or a tailor-made package long or short term, we aim to cater for your individual needs with expert and friendly attention. We live and love horses and understand the joy of riding - and importantly, the art of riding well.

Through our positive approach to teaching, we hope to make dressage a thoroughly delightful experience for novice and experienced riders alike, with a highly personalised approach.  We cater for all levels in a thorough and comprehensive way, and aim to put you where you want to be - from taking your first trot in self carriage, to understanding about control and the behaviour of your horse, to competing through the grades and mastering all the high school movements.
