Horse Riding Establishments

If you want to operate a riding establishment you must have a licence under the Riding Establishments Acts of 1964 and 1970.

To apply for a licence please contact us using the contact details at the top of this page or click on the link PDF Icon application_form-4.pdf (39KB - PDF Help)

Once your completed application form is received, an officer and a Vet will visit your premises. If an acceptable report is received, we will let you know the conditions that we propose to attach to your licence before it is issued.

Licences must be renewed on an annual basis.

There is a fee of £150.00 (up to 10 horses) with £10.00 per horse thereafter up to a maximum of £200
