WE HAVE MOVED! - ALL Lunebank Riding Centre activities, lessons and Pony Club will now be held at our new home at: Lanquestrian Ltd. Waitham Barn Farm, Middleton Road, Overton. Nr. Morecambe, Lancashire, LA3 3HB.

Come into Lanquestrian Ltd. and go up the drive, through the gate that says Waitham Barn Farm follow the track upto the next field where the car park is. Park any vehicles there and walk down the track to the left next to the hedge until you get to Lunebank Riding Centre and report to reception.

Monday - Wednesday 10am - 9pm
Thursday 10am - 4pm
Friday Closed
Saturday & Sunday 9am - 5pm

(The above times are for Lunebank Riding Centre ONLY and do not apply to the Livery, Show Ground, Farm Ride, Facility Hire or Saddlery Shop parts of Lanquestrian Ltd.)
If you wish to contact us by phone please ring twice if it is not answered on your first try - usually we cant get to the phone on time! Please respect our privacy and do not ring after 9pm at night. Alternatively we are contactable by text or email and prefer this than voicemail messages if you cannot contact us on the phone. We will endevour to contact you back within a few days.

In the event of bad weather... please postpone rather than cancel as our horses and ponies still need feeding!!!

If it is wet we will still be riding so please bring waterproofs with you!

"Rain before 7, fine before 11" - Although this saying is old it does usually ring true!

In the event of Severe weather (i.e. Gales, Thunder & Lightning, Torrential Rain, Hailstone or Snow) Please ring to see if your lesson is on or postponed or cancelled. In the above weather conditions if it is safe to come on site we will do a stable management or riding theory session. Pony Club members will be given a postponed riding lesson voucher to claim a "double ride" at ponyclub in the next few weeks. If you have a regular riding lesson the riding theory / Stable management lesson will be put on instead of your ride. Please support us in this action and bear with us especially whilst our building works for the new indoor school is in progress, but for those who are just feeling a bit wimpy remember we have managed without an indoor arena since 1999 so its not that bad! Please remember our stock does not sit on shelves - they eat us out of house and home! So we need you to still pay for your Pony Club / Riding session today to enable us to keep the school open for your future lessons! Thank you.
