Eccleston Equestrian Centre originated in 1977 on the corner of Lydiate Lane, Eccelston. This site grew from two stables and one horse for tuition purposes to a Riding and Training Centre with horses and ponies providing tuition for all standards and ages of riders including students training for BHS exams.
In 1986 Eccleston Equestrian Centre purchased the land initially for the grazing of their horses but with the increasing demand for quality tuition and a reliable Livery service we had the idea of producing a unique Centre that would provide facilities for all Equestrian Disciplines. With the help and advice of many people we produced this Centre and we are proud to be able to offer our facilities for Competitions, Hire, Tuition, Lectures and Demonstrations. Visit our Saddlery Shop for Everything Equestrian plus one or two other things besides.
