Berriewood Farm is situated seven miles south of Shrewsbury. It
covers 200 acres of farmland, which has been in the Lock family for over
100 years. Horses have always played an important part in the family
business. W J Lock bred and showed quality hunters and produced point
to pointers from the 1940’s to the 1970’s. From 1968 the Hunter
Improvement Society Stallions for Shropshire stood at Berriewood. The
breeding side was gradually phased out in the late 1970’s and the
emphasis moved to riding instruction.
The Riding School opened in 1980. Facilities now include two outdoor
surfaces, a large indoor school, lecture rooms and cross country
courses. The main business consists of teaching riding lessons to
children and adults. Three Riding for the Disabled groups meet here
regularly. We train students for British Horse Society Examinations. We are approved by
