We offer programmes of learning, improving your riding or just the sheer enjoyment of riding throughout the year.
Most of our horse riding events need to be booked to avoid disappointment.
Sunshine Riding accepts Cash, Mastercard, Visa, and Debit Cards for lesson payment, but we don’t take AmEx, Diners Club or cheques.
