What Our Riders Say

Honest feedback from people who have experienced our riding lessons

J

James Mitchell

Birmingham

Good experience overall. The lessons are well-structured and the instructor knows what they're doing. My only minor issue was that booking times can be a bit limited during weekends, so you need to plan ahead. The price is fair for what you get.

Oliver Davies

Bristol

Decent place to learn. The horses are nice and the instructor is patient. I felt the sessions could have been a bit longer for the price, and sometimes the outdoor arena gets quite muddy after rain. That said, I did learn the basics properly and felt safe throughout. Would be better if they offered more flexible package options.

Liam Roberts

Liverpool

Solid instruction and good value for money. I've been riding for years but wanted to improve my jumping technique. The instructor identified issues with my posture that other places had missed. We've been working on it for two months and I can see real improvement. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that the equipment could be updated - some of the saddles are quite worn.

Isabella Clarke

Glasgow

Booked a course of ten lessons as a birthday gift to myself. Best decision I made this year. The communication was excellent from day one - they sent me all the information I needed, what to wear, what to expect. The actual lessons exceeded my expectations. Professional, safe, and genuinely enjoyable.

Thomas Hughes

Sheffield

Met my expectations but didn't exceed them. The instructor is knowledgeable and the horses are well cared for. I learned what I came to learn. The facility is a bit basic compared to some others I've seen, but it does the job. Fair pricing.

George Parker

Nottingham

Very professional setup. My son has been coming here for six months and has progressed well. The instructor is patient with children. Would give five stars if the waiting area had better seating for parents.

Mia Bennett

Cardiff

I came here specifically to work on dressage skills and was not disappointed. The instructor has competition experience and it shows in their teaching. They break down complex movements into manageable steps and use video feedback, which really helps you see what you're doing wrong. I've been training here for five months now and have entered my first competition next month. The facilities include both indoor and outdoor arenas, which means lessons continue regardless of weather. The horses used for advanced training are responsive and well-schooled. The ROI in terms of skill development has been excellent.

Excellent service from start to finish. I had specific questions about safety procedures before booking, and they answered everything thoroughly. The actual lessons are well-organized, start on time, and cover exactly what was promised. No complaints at all.
