Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has announced that she will be opening a horse riding school.

The centre will cater for female equestrians only and, most specifically, mothers with young children. The children will be looked after in a crèche whilst mums can enjoy horse riding lessons in the school.

Geri believes that it is a combination that will prove very popular with women and introduce many ladies to horse riding.

She explained about her equestrian centre whilst wearing jodhpurs and riding boots at a London film premiere.

She said: "Mums get lonely. And this would get them out, getting fit with other girls. And your children will be looked after while you're doing this. Heaven!"
