The story

A lifetime ambition, opened in 2009

Lodge Equine started in April 2009 when qualified instructor Lesley Johnston opened the riding school she had long planned. It began near Richhill and moved to its Ballyloughan Road home at the end of 2013 as it grew.

The centre stays family-run and focused on teaching, with every lesson and pony day led by a qualified instructor and horses picked to suit riders of any ability.
