Hassen Rizvi Abdul Haleem: Friendly staff and a good place for horse riding.

Debbie Carter: My son had his first lesson with Megan at Lily Lodge today after having a wonderful pony party at the centre last month. All staff are really friendly and welcoming, the centre itself is fully equipped with essentials such as toilet facilities and hat/boot hire to added extras like a gazebo with table and chairs for parties. The ponies are well behaved, clearly well looked after and happy in their work. Megan runs lots of different events for the children throughout the year such as pony days and other fun seasonal events which we'll certainly look to attend. I can highly recommend this centre, my son can't wait to go back! Thankyou Lily Lodge ❤️

Anthony Broadhead: Excellent venue . Excellent staff very helpful

Evelyn Ketels: After spending more time getting off horses via the side exit my confidence was zero to none. Just had my first lesson at cloughfields my confidence is massively boosted. Jodie has such an amazing and positive way of explaining things. She’s quick to correct and even quicker to praise so I immediately understood what was needed. Can’t wait to turn these lessons into a regular series. And all the people in my lesson couldn’t have been nicer. I truly felt welcomed. Thanks and see you soon x Evelyn

Moira Benson: Had a riding lesson from Sue, riding Margaret the Clydesdale who was very steady. Sue was very knowledgeable and helped me with walking, stopping, steering and trotting. She told me about Margaret and her habits.I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend the first time you go in the daylight if possible because although it's signposted off Ringinlow Rd, once you get down the narrow road, it's hard to know where to go/park the first time.The gate opens when you approach it. (Didn't know that so I tried to park up) Then drive through a yard with some parking available or keep going to the next car park near the archery.You can easily book a private lesson online and then when you've been assessed you can book classes based on your level of competence. You also can take the horse back to her stable and untack them, which helps you understand "your" horse betterWill go again 🐴

Lizzy Boo: GREAT!

Lee: Lightwood Livery, also known as mansion House farm is unfortunately poorly managed. The location is really good and both the indoor and outdoor arena are really well kept.The outdoor arena is floodlit (you will need make sure you are aware of what time they are turned off at night),The indoor arena lights are metered and charged with £1 for 20min (this is not included in the livery fee).There is an old horse walker that has been extended with heras fencing to act as a make shift round pen, although can be occupied for days at a time by horses for isolation purposes.The stables are various sizes and most come with automatic water feeders but the ceilings and floors can be leaky. It has been promised that the stables will be rebuilt “at some point” although this has yet to happen and many DIY liveries have been known to do their own repairs.Stables getting allocated at the initial viewing/ arrival can be changed at the yard owners’ digression without discussing with the DIY liveries first (even if a livery has spent time and money repairing one).In winter the lights for the stables and tack rooms are switched off at 7pm.The horses are kept in small herds, geldings and mares are separated, except for one of the yard owners’ geldings, who is kept with the mares and is known to often bite other horses, more so when the grass is low.The quality of the fencing varies from adequate to poor (some on mains electric and some on batteries) and is a lot of times left to the liveries to repair or move if needed to manage grass.The owner, although doesn't live far away, does not live on site and there are often periods where there is no-one on site other than the liveries. On occasion it has been observed that horses on full liveries have run out of feed and water.The communication from the owner is poor and any changes from the management are often only communicate via a bulletin on the Facebook group.Due to the above mentioned and other issues there have recently been a high turnover of liveries.If you consider this livery for your Horse, I would recommend you ensure a good written and accurate livery contract is in place that details the particulars of agreements discussed at viewing, and describes all responsibilities in detail including all fees, what’s included and what the extras are (such as repair costs, fencing, hay, bedding, storage and which fields your horses will be allocated to and how many they will share with etc.).Talk to the current and past liveries about their experience to ensure it is suitable for yourself and your horse.
