The Magpie Centre, West Norfolk Riding for the Disabled

The Magpie Centre, West Norfolk Riding for the Disabled, has been a dedicated RDA riding centre at Wallington Hall for over 30 years. Since the indoor riding school was built in 1990, we have been able to offer lessons year-round, while the scenic tracks of the Wallington estate provide the perfect setting for hacks and carriage drives. At the heart of the Centre is a passionate and experienced Centre Manager plus certified instructors. Supporting them is an invaluable group of over 70 volunteers whose commitment ensures the smooth running of our programs. Together, we offer a welcoming, supportive environment.

Testimonials
“ Thank you for always making Alicia feel so happy. Its her dream to work at Magpie, so even simple responsibilities like taking the horse back to the yard, is thrilling for her! ”
“ My own riding has progressed with Jody’s help and I am grateful that the foundation skills taught by her have enabled me to engage in activities such as horse back archery and generally improve my riding overall. My grateful thanks to Jody! ”
“ I have been going to the Magpie Centre since i was 5. The Magpie Centre has helped me with my riding skills and confidence, the staff and manager are caring, helpful, friendly and understanding. I would recommend it to people who needs their help with building confidence and help with their anxiety. ”
“ Our daughter, Jessa, has both a serious vision impairment and cerebral palsy, and the weekly sessions she has at the Magpie Centre have been truly life-changing for her. The physical benefits are clear — her core strength, balance, and posture have all improved, but what’s just as important is the confidence and joy she gets from being around the horses and the amazing team. We’re so grateful to the Magpie Centre for the difference they’ve made in her life. It’s not just therapy, it’s something she truly loves, and that love has helped her thrive. ”
