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.
