At Drakes Farm Riding Centre we have been teaching people to ride and improve their riding for over 30years. We are a family run yard with a team of instructors who have a wealth of experience in many disciplines. We offer horse riding lessons to children 4 years old and upwards and also to adults. We specialise in teaching kids and adults wanting to start from scratch, those who may be returning to riding after a break and also nervous riders. Our wide range of horses is at the disposal of the instructors who can provide tuition in our facilities, boasting 40x20m indoor school (New Combi-Ride Surface installed July 2011), outdoor menage, paddocks and a selection of jumps. The riding centre is located in the centre of the village of Ilton, 2miles from Ilminster, 10miles from Taunton and 15miles from Yeovil. We are easily accessible from the A358 and A303.

Drakes Farm
The riding centre is based on the family farm comprising of 140 acres of mixed pasture land. The land is used primarily for the equestrian activities as well as for the production of hay and haylage. At the farther reaches of the farm is our very small herd of beef cows, two in total which is the remnants of the large herd once managed from Drakes.
Today the farm side is responsible for the pasture management to provide well maintained and sustainable grazing as well as the production of high quality foragefor the horses.
