Dickey Steps Riding school was established in 1979 by Frank and Kathleen Mills and their Daughter Stephanie with the purpose of providing recreational and educational facilities for people wanting to ride horses no matter what their experience or ability.
Dickey Steps is set in the beautiful Lancashire countryside on the door step of Hollingworth Lake Country Park and is still a family run business.
Stephanie has been trained at Yorkshire Riding School by Jane Bartle, and also by Alex Lloyd at Snainton Riding School and Myerscough Agricultural College.
We have horses and ponies to suite all capabilities ranging from beginners to the accomplished for riders from age 4 upwards. We also offer the facility for lessons to improve horse riding technique, Cross Country, British Horse Society examinations and stable management.
Dickey Steps is open all year round with the exception of adverse weather conditions such as ice or snow.
In addition to a privately owned cross country area Dickey Steps Riding School has an 'all weather' outdoor floodlit menage (arena).
We offer Livery and overnight stabling for horse and riders accessing Pennine bridleways such as the Mary Townley loop.
"We are passionate about our horses and are dedicated to the improvement of equine knowledge through the provision of a safe and structured
environment where both horse and rider can share the wonderful experience that is horse riding."

Kitt Budd5 StarThis riding school has given my daughter her confidence back, we've tried many different schools and ways of helping her regain the confidence she lost but the owner and staff have gone above and beyond for us both. 1 year in and I have no regrets and she is riding every week.... so much so that 2 of her friends also attend now every week. The owner ensures that we are aware of our appointment each week, and will always make sure we are okay. My daughter has grown so much over this year and that is thanks to the support of the staff who are amazing and the owner who has been patient and understanding throughout. There's a reason we all keep coming back.Saturday 3rd June 2023

Ghislaine Anderton5 StarI would recommend Dickey Steps to anyone, be they an experienced rider or someone who just wants to have a go. It's a friendly, supportive, relaxed and inclusive atmosphere and the stables are set within a beautiful environment. The people are always so positive and constructive. I have been riding there now for a number of years, and would not hesitate to recommend this business to riders (or prospective riders) of any age or current ability.Saturday 3rd June 2023

Maye Alotaibi5 StarWe had a wonderful time today with my family. The place and view is amazing. The horses are well cared for. We were honored to meet Stephanie and her lovely team they are very kind and friendly people.
It was my first time ever to ride a horse and I was very happy to be paired with Gypsy such an adorable creature. My instructors Jemima and Emily Bless their hearts were very kind and patient with me, I enjoyed every minute of the ride. We will definitely come back soon. I do recommend this place for a family activity. Thank you Cathleen for the coffee 👍🏻Sunday 31st March 2019
