Island Riding Centre is a family-friendly equestrian complex set in 50 acres of countryside near Newport on the Isle of Wight, with indoor and outdoor sand arenas and on-site hacking trails. Kids aged 2-8 can enjoy 20-minute tots taster sessions with a rosette to take home, while 6-16 year olds can join the 'Own Your Own Pony' Kids Club in school holidays for riding, grooming and stable management. Birthday parties, private lessons and pony club activities are all on offer, plus an onsite children's playground, cafe and restaurant. The centre holds the RDA Accessibility Mark with a para hoist and Changing Places toilet, making riding accessible for all abilities.
