A family-run riding school and livery yard set in the Northern Ireland countryside between Ballyclare, Larne and Carrickfergus. Calm, friendly instruction for riders aged 4 and up.
Beechgrove Equestrian Centre opened in 2020 as a purpose-built livery yard and has since grown to include a full riding school. We sit in quiet countryside between Ballyclare, Larne and Carrickfergus, giving riders a calm, unhurried setting to learn and progress.
Every first-time rider — other than complete beginners on the lead rein — starts with a private 30-minute assessment lesson, so we can place them with the right group and pace from day one. Our approachable instructors and small group sizes mean every rider gets genuine attention, whatever their age or experience.
Whether you're after your child's first pony lesson, a livery yard you can trust, or a seasonal camp full of new skills and new friends, Beechgrove is built to feel like home from the first visit.
One-to-one instruction at your pace, including the 30-minute assessment lesson every new rider starts with.
Small groups of 4–6 riders, matched by age and ability, for a fun and confidence-building environment.
Our purpose-built yard offers secure, well-kept livery for horse owners across Ballyclare, Larne and Carrickfergus.
Seasonal camps packed with riding, horse care and new friendships — a firm favourite during school holidays.
Low-pressure training shows let riders put new skills into practice and build ring experience.
Easy, free on-site parking for every lesson, drop-off and visit — no stress before you even arrive.
Every new rider gets a private assessment lesson, so they're placed with the right group straight away.
A calm, friendly team who make it easy to feel comfortable, whether you're 4 years old or a returning adult rider.
Set between Ballyclare, Larne and Carrickfergus, with free parking and space to relax before and after lessons.
Owned and operated by a family who built the yard themselves in 2020 — you'll deal with real people, not a franchise.
