About Us

BSR OWNER AND FOUNDER

Lucy Ashworth

Hi there! My name is Lucy and I am the proud owner of BSR Equestrian, a business dedicated to providing re-training and re-homing services for ex-racehorses. With a lifelong passion for horses and a deep love for these majestic animals, I am committed to ensuring that each horse under my care is given the opportunity to thrive in a new career and a loving home.

At BSR Equestrian, we specialize in working with ex-racehorses, helping them to transition from their previous careers on the track to new and fulfilling careers in other equestrian disciplines. Our re-training services are designed to help these horses develop the skills and abilities they need to excel in their new careers, whether that be in show jumping, dressage, eventing, or any other equestrian discipline.

But our work doesn’t stop there. We also offer re-homing services, ensuring that each of our horses is placed in a loving and suitable home that will provide them with the care and attention they need to thrive. We work closely with potential adopters to ensure that each horse is matched with the perfect new owner, and we provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure a successful transition for both horse and owner.

At BSR Equestrian, we are committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to each horse under our care. With a deep love and respect for these incredible animals, we are dedicated to helping them find their new purpose and a bright future ahead.

What They Say

Lucy starting teaching my daughter to ride in October 2011 and since then her riding has progressed so much that earlier this year she came first place in a show. As I was impressed by Lucy’s tuition I decided to take lessons myself and after 14 months I entered my first competition, something I could only have dreamt of a couple of years ago. Lucy can provide good tuition whatever your age or standard and in first class facilities. Give it a go!

Lucy thank you for keeping me on the straight and narrow with Jo – with so many people telling me to give up on him you have stuck with us and even though we had a small bump recently are still there helping us through. I see a bright future with him all because of your help and support.Excellent horse riding results speak for themselves – the horse riding club is the best place for your daily practice!

Rachael Orme-Smith

My 10 8 and 6 year old children have all been taught by Lucy since the age of 5. She has always been there to help iron out any issues that we have and she found us our beloved first pony. I was quite unsure of riding again myself as an adult after a gap of 18 years but Lucy put me completely at ease – without her I simply would have been too embarrassed to start again! She has a lovely range of horses with wonderful characters and they are beautifully cared for. Now we have our own horses she still teaches us and she cares for them when I am away .I never have to worry as I know they are in capable safe hands. I will always be grateful to Lucy for instilling a love of horses in my children – including my son who I never imagined would enjoy riding. is the best in equestrian sport! I recommend your club to everyone!

All horse After 15 years out of the saddle, I tried a number of stables before finding the perfect instructor in Lucy. She gave me the confidence to progress at my own pace while knowing when to encourage me to push myself. She identified and corrected problems with my position that no instructor has ever put right and within weeks I was jumping again. The lessons are fun and always reflect what I want out of them. I feel lucky to have found her and her wonderful team of horses.’chool visitors should see a tutorial prior to stepping up close to a horse, especially kids

I have been riding with Lucy for over two years during which time I have been cross country schooling, to own a pony days and even loaned one of her horses, as well a having lessons on a weekly basis. I love it. Throughout the two years my riding has improved a huge amount and that wouldn’t be without the patience, experience and help of Lucy. She has given me the opportunity to ride both young, old, big and small horses which has boosted my confidence so much. I always enjoy my lessons and look forward to them every week. I am so pleased I have the chance to learn to ride with Lucy and would recommend BSR equestrian to anyone

When searching for a competent riding instructor for my children Lucy came highly recommended and I can say without a moment’s hesitation that I couldn’t be more pleased with her. Lucy is a fantastic instructor who is sure to inspire any rider young or old to achieve their full potential & beyond, regardless of their starting ability. She is kind, patient and vastly knowledgeable, and I’m sure I couldn’t find a more caring person who would go to such lengths to ensure the health & well-being of her animals as well as such a happy & fun learning environment. Lucy has nurtured my daughter from being a shy & retiring individual who was nervous around horses into a confident rider who loves horses, so much so as that it’s only a matter of time before I relent and buy her a horse of her own….so be warned. I’ve been so impressed with Lucy’s ability & style of teaching I’ve even plucked up the courage to have a lesson or two myself, something I hadn’t done since being a child. I expected to plod around a bit, I’m ecstatic to say Lucy had other ideas and had me going over jumps in no time.

I first met Lucy when she came to help a horse at the yard who was very nappy and i was so impressed with the way she worked with her. I didn’t hesitate to send my 4 year old New Forest to her for breaking and she didn’t disappoint. She did a superb job and has had him back since for more schooling. She has always gone the extra mile and has even come out to my yard to help me when I had a few problems. Lucy is so helpful and always willing to give advice, she is always the first person I turn to. Her own horses are beautifully looked after and want for nothing. I have since taken my 4 year old Andalusian to Lucy for breaking and schooling and again she has done such a fantastic job with her. Lucy has also taught my partner to ride and is teaching my twins on little Breezy, they love her. I really appreciate her expertise and professional horsemanship along with her kindness and friendship. Thank you Lucy, I wouldn’t send my horses anywhere else.
