Horse Riding at Linn Park Equestrian Centre

A group of our young people from S1-3 have had an incredible time developing their riding skills at Linn Park Equestrian Centre over the past few weeks.

For some, this was a fantastic opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and try something completely new. For others, it was a chance to build their confidence and refine their independent riding abilities.

No matter their starting point, every participant showed dedication, enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to improving their skills—all while having plenty of fun along the way!

A huge well done to everyone who took part!
