I can’t rate you highly enough. I love coming here and can never wait for my next lesson. I’ve been bitten by the riding bug and I love it. All the instructors are fabulous and I always feel so welcome.

Really friendly yard with excellent quality horses. Something to suit every rider. Fab set of instructors.

Katie Blatchford

First time properly on a horse today for my first lesson! Loved it and had a great teacher. Wasn’t expecting to trot on my own for my initial first lesson but surprised myself.

Hannah Taylor

Have ridden here with uni, and also taken part in trips out too. Can honestly say this is the most professional riding school but also friendly school I have ever been too. The whole team are polite and so nice and it’s a breath of fresh air. Natalie should be proud of her team and ponies!

I would highly recommend this riding school to anyone at any age. Lovely clean, tidy yard, great schools and surfaces to ride on. Staff are very friendly and helpful at all times and horses are really well cared for and treated as their own rather than the typical riding school.
