This fantastic equestrian centre really does have it all for schools, youth groups, scouts and guides wanting a holiday learning to ride or to look after horses. The Isle of Wight has a history steeped in horse riding with hundreds of miles of trails, bridleways and beach rides to enjoy.

It is possible for group leaders to choose self catering with all units having kitchens or kitchenettes. However, Island Riding Centre also has an on site restaurant serving English and Mediterranean food with favourites like pizza and pasta for even the most choosy tastes.
The riding school staff take a tailored approach to helping youngsters enjoy their time at Island Riding Centre. Well trained tutors are able to help all ages and abilities to get the most out of this holiday. They are experienced at encouraging kids with learning difficulties and disabilities to achieve. Even those lacking confidence and motivation will flourish and emerge with increased self esteem. On site facilities lend themselves to success, and include the huge indoor arena, all weather outdoor school or local hacks, before the youngsters venture further afield and onto the sands.
All of the accommodation works well for youth groups offering comfy beds, living space and sparkling clean bathrooms. 4 of the properties are accessible.
There is plenty of space for downtime at Island Riding Centre, and the younger ones in particular will appreciate the play area or a chance to spend time with the local rescue animals for feeding time. There are lots of gorgeous beaches on the Isle Of Wight for an afternoon out, with low tide pools at Appleby, a must see trip to The Needles and maybe a boat safari to spot marine wildlife.
