Wythenshawe Park Riding Stables has scooped a top prize in the UK 2019 Adventure Award.

The riding school, which was founded nineteen years ago as a family business won “Best Horse Riding Experience” in the awards.

Most recently the school has begun supporting their strong volunteer base by offering the Y.E.L.A. (Young Equestrian Leaders’ Award) scheme, which enables participants to gain an industry recognized qualification.

Many of the volunteers have got jobs in the equine sector. The school also offers open access, catering for riders who have a variety of additional needs.

Delighted directors Miss Fiona Jackson and Damon Atkinson said: “Winning this award is confirmation of the effort and hard work that is put in by all our team who strive with us to achieve the best possible experiences for our clients.

“This will enable us to promote our facilities to advertise our services to a wider community in the North West. We believe passionately that horse riding helps riders to develop skills, gain confidence and engage with our local community. Thank you to everyone who voted for us. Winning this award is a major achievement for us and confirms our belief in the vision that we have for the stables.”
