Horse Riding Establishments

Under the Riding Establishments Acts 1964 and 1970, if you teach people to ride or you hire out horses, you may require a licence.

There are a number  of licenced Horse Riding Establishments in Eastleigh Borough.

Setting up a Horse Riding Establishment
You should first contact the Planning Unit on planning@eastleigh.gov.uk  or check their page on this website, to find out whether you need planning permission.  You should also contact the Animal Welfare Officers who will be able to give you advice and discuss the conditions that need to be met in order to obtain a licence to run a Horse Riding Establishment. Your insurance company will be able to offer advice on the sort of insurance you will need and our Health & Safety Officer should also be contacted.

Before the licence is granted your establishment  will need Veterinary and Health and Safety inspections.

Always ensure that any Horse Riding Establishment you choose has an up to date licence. 

Livery Yards
At present you do not require a licence for this.  However, in the future this may change.  The website will be updated to keep you informed of any changes, as they happen.
