Newton Hall has been established for over 30 years in the quiet countryside 5 miles north of Ipswich, and in that time has grown to be one of the largest riding centres in the East of England. Facilities include a 60m x 30m indoor arena, two large outdoor floodlit arenas, an indoor school, a show jumping paddock and over 40 varied cross-country fences in 40 acres of grassland. The Centre always has between 50 and 60 horses and ponies available, which enables great flexibility, and allows large groups to be catered for.

A large complement of staff qualified to BHSAI and BHSI grades cater for all levels of tuition. Newton Hall is open 365 days a year and tuition is available on 7 days a week and all weekday evenings. All arenas are floodlit enabling evening courses to operate through out the year.

The horses and ponies are schooled regularly to maintain a good level of training. Whether beginning or improving your riding you are able to learn to ride and care for horses in a friendly established environment with qualified instructors and sensible horses.
