uist community riding school
Originally (1974) the stables were set up as an Army Saddle Club to provide
riding and tuition for service personnel and their families; this was quickly
extended to local residents also. 3 ponies, 3 railway carriages and 2 nissen
sheds provided the back bone of the stables. Over the years more ponies and
horses were purchased and with the aid of a Lottery grant an empty swimming pool
was made into our indoor school, stables were built and the changing rooms of
the pool were re purposed to the setup we have today; providing 9 stables,
covered tie up area, club room, heated tack room, store rooms, wash room and
toilets. We employ 5 staff and are open all year round.
