Welcome To Bushes Equestrian Centre, Horse Riding In Dorset

The Stables near Bushes Farm in Blandford was established by Marcia Coombs, an instructor and owner. Marcia’s knowledge and skills in training have benefited the stables for more than 40 years. They are and have been involved with local pony clubs and teaching prestigious schools like Clayesmore, Milton Abbey, and Castle Court. 

 

Marcia is renowned for her expertise in eventing and show jumping. Her daughter Sophie, also an instructor, has had the full benefit of her mother’s expertise for over 30 years. Sophie competes showjumping successfully across the country and is sponsored by EDC Equine Dental Clinic. The Stables also has a dedicated team of volunteers, including family and friends. Everyone takes pride in making riding accessible to horse lovers from many backgrounds. It is a fun and inclusive facility.

We welcome people of all ages and riding abilities to join us. As a small family-run business, we can offer personalised attention to help you or your children develop ability and confidence. We provide group and private lessons, hacks out, and, being on the northern fringe of Blandford Forum, we have fantastic rides right on our doorstep.
