Welcome to Risley Saddlery

Visit our large shop; 3200 square feet of equestrian products, stocks are extensive. We are open daily from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. 10am to 4pm Sunday.

Risley Saddlery is situated in open countryside adjacent to J 25 on the M1, halfway between Derby and Nottingham right in the centre of England. We are very accessible from all parts of the country, parking is no problem and we have stables and trial paddocks.

Many old Risley farms were turned into livery yards, I was told by Peter and Sheila Matthews, who moved to Risley in 1967 when it was still very much a farming village they had a 50 cow dairy herd which they milked until 1979. In 1983, they opened a Saddlery business. Farmers were being encouraged to diversify, recalls Sheila, and as our pony-riding children were finding it difficult to get saddlery, we saw a niche in the market.

Access to the Saddlery is down a long country lane which has a reassuring sign stating Nearly There! The Saddlerys stock is impressively extensive. “Because we are quite a way from the road, we felt there should be a good choice for customers who make the effort”
