Regular class lessons, individual teaching through private lessons, dressage, show jumping, cross country, horse care, pony club for younger riders, hacks, fun days, ladies days - all absolutely brilliant! Tracey is a fabulous teacher - amazing knowledge and insight - and cares about her riders, always catering to their levels of confidence and experience. The horses are well schooled and very well looked after by a great team. I would highly recommend Pockerley to anyone, whatever stage they are at in their riding journey. · via Google [Joanne Peterkin](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113362772183601466400/reviews) ★★★★★ If I could give more stars I would! Lessons are planned and well thoughtout but most of all they are fun. My confidence has really grown since riding here and the horses are very well looked after. Lisa and Tracy are fantastic instructors and all the staff are really friendly. Its obvious as soon as you walk on the yard how much the horses are cared for. Would highly recommend Pockerley to anyone of any age or ability! · via Google [Deborah Alderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104205946553230805846/reviews) ★★★★★ Amazing riding school! Fantastic staff and lush horses and ponies. Lisa is so good with the kids, my daughter has come on so much...its her favourite time of the week. We love being part of the Pockerley family ❤️ · via Google [Sandra Hunter-Hughes](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100236545250144981010/reviews) ★★★★★ So I started my horse riding journey when I was a child (long time ago!) At the tender age of 60 for my birthday decided to give it another try and discovered Pockerley Riding School, which turned out to be the best decision ever. The school is immaculately kept (I’ve seen some shabby ones on my search), the horses are extremely well cared for and the staff are friendly, helpful and very professional. Big shout out to Tracy who owns the place and runs a tight ship and also the wonderful Lisa who takes all the newbies/oldies returning after a gap and the children under her wing to train, help and provide confidence boosting advice along the way. I’ve found my calling and made some great friends, really look forward to my weekly rides. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed, it’s the best! ❤️ · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487e7939e1021a3b:0xe02203c235d65784!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Beamish, Durham, DH9 0RZ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.8870703%2C-1.6406724) **Category** Horse Riding **Guest rating** 4.9 / 5 (34 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Stanley [More attractions in Stanley](https://staycation.co.uk/stanley/attractions) ★ 4.9 (34 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.pockerleyequestrian.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [0191 370 0296](tel:01913700296) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Stanley **Postcode** DH9 0RZ **Plus Code** 9C6WV9P5+RP [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487e7939e1021a3b:0xe02203c235d65784!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487e7939e1021a3b:0xe02203c235d65784!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487e7939e1021a3b:0xe02203c235d65784!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Stanley Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
