Thurleigh Equestrian Centre

Situated in the peaceful Bedfordshire countryside, Thurleigh Equestrian Centre offers high-quality, one-to-one coaching for adults (18+) on well-produced dressage horses. We specialise in helping riders refine their skills, build confidence, and develop a deeper, more harmonious partnership with their horse. Coaching focuses on behaviour, biomechanics, and effective rider influence, supporting everyone from returning riders to those working towards personal training goals.

Alongside our riding provision, we deliver inclusive alternative equine programmes for young people who face barriers to accessing mainstream education or who benefit from emotional or mental-health support. Our Progressive Strides programme is facilitated by a skilled, SEND/SEMH-trained team and provides small-group horse care sessions and tailored one-to-one experiences that promote connection, wellbeing, and personal growth.

Our ethos is calm, professional, and welfare-centred. We are committed to creating a supportive environment where learning thrives, horses are respected, and every individual—horse or human—is given the opportunity to progress with confidence.
