Dear Rider or Aspiring Rider,

First of all, thank you for visiting my website. My name is Diana Higgins, a BHS-qualified Intermediate Instructor, and owner of Orchard Bank Stables.

You can read about my lifelong love of horses and my riding background in the About Me section. This section also includes details of the principles that I use in my teaching.

If you are interested in either riding lessons or liveries, you can read about the facilities available at Orchard Bank. For more information on riding lessons, please see the Lessons section, and further information on liveries can be found in the Livery section.

In the Testimonials section, you can read comments from some of my pupils.

My contact details are listed in the Contact section - please feel free to get in touch.

The News section keeps you updated on Donna Vita, recent news, upcoming events and client's successes.

NEW: We have recently added a Programme of Events section to the site. This section provides details of all upcoming events with myself or visiting instructors, and will contain details of events for riding clubs as well as events that are open to all.

You can also access the different sections of the site via the menu on the left of each page.

I hope you enjoy your riding - stretch yourself, but be safe.

Diana Higgins
