Wickstead Farm Equestrian Centre
Riding lessons, livery and a Pony Club Centre set across 500 acres of Wiltshire countryside — off-road hacking, river crossings and a purpose-built cross country course, all on our own land.
Welcome
A working yard, family-run, for riders of every age
From a first pony lead-rein lesson to livery for your own horse, Wickstead Farm has been teaching riders of all levels and caring for horses and ponies on this Highworth yard for years. We're proud to be one of the first centres approved by The Pony Club, and a British Horse Society approved centre.
