Quob Stables Equestrian Centre: what do users think?
Rafal Wojtas: very good
mihyun kim: I was happy with this horse riding school but a week ago they notice me have cancel my next 15 private lesssons and keep it for credit.The reason was their privat lesson cost incresed from £36 to £49 for 30mins.That is ok because that is their busines but i was not happy and do not want to keep lesson here anymore. So emailed them three times, called 3times for refund.But still do not get my money back!Addtional,, i do horse riding pinkmead once a week and they also increased the cost just £1 for 30min. Lesson. Still they keep my next 10private lessons. Not cancel themself like here!
Zoe: Booked my daughter's birthday party with Quob stables, the service from start to finish was top quality.Booking, communication and the party itself was great!The kids had an amazing time, Caleb was fantastic as the party host...the ponies all did a great job too!Thank you so much for a memorable party!
Justyna Sobieraj: Very friendly staff, look after horses well. My daughter enjoy the lessons
alex campos: Top quality professional service with some wonderful school horses (and amazing ponies too!) I needed to take some BHS assesments and every member of staff that I spoke to was both kind and helpful. Beth (who is fantastic!) accomodated me in her schedule quickly and helped me on my journey. I am excited to return to do my stage 3 training with them next year. I would high reccommend them for all levels of training.
Claire Ricketts: We booked one of the children's parties for our 7 year old. We had great communication with with stables from the start and the day was very well organised. The kids had an absolutely amazing time. A full hour of fun and games that did not disappoint. Would highly recommend.
Kathy Wadsworth: Excellent facilities and a good atmosphere, very friendly
Tina Hill: Great amenities in a beautiful environment with friendly and helpful people. Also the whole place smells of horses so it's a winner right there 😁
Natalie Watson (Nat): I absolutely love it here. The staff are competent, warm, friendly and professional. They enable the rider to become more confident in their abilities and progress with their skills.Most importantly, the horses are loved! They have their own personalities which each instructor is intimate with and respectful of!
Philip Nicolaou: Visited with our 7 year old without advance notice, and all the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We were given a full tour of the stables and intoduced to many horses and ponies. There are ample indoor and outdoor facilities, and we saw people of all ages taking classes.
amanda derrick: Great friendly stables
Tatiana Betson: Staff very friendly and instructors are very good with the kids.
Darren Titcombe: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy girls love it here the trainers are very good as are the facilities.
Dave Sutherland: Didn't visit was seeing a friend.
Robert Patten: This review is only for the Hayrack Cafe. I decided to try this cafe, having spotted it back in the summer. The breakfast here, is absolutely fantastic...There are 3 sizes, S,M,L. I decided to try the medium size. It was almost too much for me. 2 (L) sausages, 2 bacon, 1 fried egg, beans, mushrooms, grilled tomato, 2 potato fritters, black pudding, granary toast and a tea. Total cost £8.50.Only gripe was no pepper on any of the tables.Very friendly staff and members of the riding school. Free car parking, but beware of the mud around the stables entrance.Highly recommended.
Tamara Skinner: Excellent Equestrian Centre for all ages, very welcoming when I first visited :)
Denise Higgins: Would of been nice to had a Rosette for taking part in the Pony morning. Learning pony care etc etc.. as this was a present for grandaughter.
Kevin Byrne: Always friendly service in the csfe; lovely to meet the horses and watch them train

Coombe Stables Ltd - Horse riding in the New Forest: what do users think?
Lee: Wow! What a great experience for myself as a first time rider and my wife who hadn’t ridden for a few years. Joe was absolutely spot on with his help and advice. His knowledge and love of the horses made the experience so much better. We wandered into the forest with 2 youngsters on much smaller ponies and looked like professionals as we crossed the main road. Thank you for an amazing time and we will definitely see you again.
Patricia Paul: We had a lovely hack. Joe looked after us and was good company. He was flexible to the needs of two riders with varied experience and the horses were well cared for. Would thoroughly recommend.
mihyun kim: I have been here last Wednesday with my husband and had a great time. All staff were very friendly and specially Caroline really made our New Forest experience one to remember.
julie Kendall: Absolute gem of a place. Staff are all so friendly and really made our New Forest experience one to remember. Joe was a fantastic guide and we can’t thank him enough. Geoff was so accommodating to fit us in last minute. Please, if you are down this way, go and ride out with them. You won’t be sorry.
Caroline Kirkwood: Reese is absolutely LOVING her riding lessons and we look forward to continuing xx
Sarah Ing: Wonderful location for hacks out in the New Forest. We had a 2 hour ride on lovely New Forest ponies. Very friendly staff and lovely horses. Would highly recommend.
Jane Deacon: Very good, nice friendly staff, would definitely go back
Bethany Smith: , I was treated as though I'd never seen a horse before in my life.The parking was limited, but we were greeted by friendly staff, all of whom seemed to be young teenagers. I had my own hat, but after a Google search by the staff (!!
Ash Cullingworth: Admin paperwork completed, introduced to my beautiful horse and my instructor Joe. Again, super friendly, great guy. Knowledgeable, friendly, and safe - what more could you ask for. Weather conditions prevented cantering, but lots of trotting around the New Forest - felt more like friends out for a hack than a paid service. Highly recommend. I will definitely return when in the area area.
Tara Chalk: Fantastic place to ride! We are novices and the staff could not have been nicer! They were so chatty and knowledgeable, we felt so safe. The horses were fantastic and were well looked after. It was clear they really cared. We are middle aged parents and had our 16 year old son on his first ride. They absolutely put all of us at ease. We had a wonderful time. Well done Coombe Stables! If only we lived nearer we would visit often! Thanks so much.
Cara: An excellent hack out in the New Forest with Coombe Stables. Staff were all very friendly and the horses well mannered, nicely run stables. Highly recommend.
Alisha Khalil: Had an amazing hack out as a holiday treat. Staff were super lovely and energetic, unlike some places ive been it was clear they really cared about the horses in their care. The hack was great, I forgot the name of the lady who took us out (Sorry!) but she knew loads about the new forest and was vert chatty and engaging!Would definitely recommend.
Mike Burtenshaw: Was an amazing time. I've never been on a horse in my. Life I would 100% do this again. Huge thank you to Joe for putting me at ease. 👍
Alex Hand: Excellent hack and really friendly team
Lois Hamilton: This place offered the most fantastic riding hack through the New Forest. Staff were so friendly and helpful and the horses were beautiful. The place had the most wonderful vibe and we can't wait to visit again.
Mariah Covington: Our hack with Joe was fantastic! We took a riding hack on Tammy and Sugar Bear who were both lovely horses. What impressed us most was the care for the horses. Since it hasn't rained and the ground was hard, Joe let us know that our walk, trot, canter ride would actually only be walk trot which we thought was actually spectacular as it showed us just how much Coombe Stables cares about the welfare of their wonderful horses. We had a fantastic ride with lots of great trots through the national park. The level of customer service and friendliness of the staff can't be beat!
Tracy Walton: Wonderful experience for my daughter who went on a walk trot hack while we were on holiday in the New Forest. The ladies who led the hack were lovely and my daughter loved the route they took. Thank you!
Benjamin Wood: My first time on the back of a horse accompanied by my partner whose an experienced rider. The staff were very nice and the animals seemed well tempered. They were very accomodating for my lack of experience. Our hack took us out into the New forest which was fantastic. Slightly more expensive than other riding schools I have looked at however I feel this was a warranted mark up for the location, quality of animal and staff. Truly a great experience that I can recommend confidently to any skill level of rider.
Matthew Jones: Took my daughter to Coombe stables very welcoming up to date with safety. Clean stables my daughter really enjoyed her ride on Sunny ggteat mana about him....we will resist soon...
joanne mackrill: Myself and a small group of my family went on a walking hack while we were on holiday in Brockenhurst last week. The young staff that walked with us were lovely , we had a lovely chat while enjoying our walk out. The enormous Sugar was a complete gentle giant ❤️
Paul Spring: Second time on a hack with Coombe, thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff are friendly and helpful, the horses were all very calm and well behaved. See you again soon!!!!

Gleneagles Riding School: what do users think?
Poppy Deabill: I moved to Gleneagles after a confidence knock at another riding school and honestly they have been so supportive and amazing at helping me get back on track. The staff are lovely, polite and patient, the horses are all absolutely gorgeous and have taught me lots of different things. All aspects of my riding have developed in the short time I've been having lessons here! The hacking is also absolutely lovely :)
Nippers Channel: Really bad for kids safety. My daughter is currently in A&E department with a horrible cut on her private parts that need stitching. Every child should get on and off a horse on the step box. You didn’t do that. We have it on record . I’m going to sue your company and if that’s not successful I’ll bring u down myself . THAT IS A ABSOLUTE PROMISE
Pamela Hobbs: After 20 years of not riding I was nervous at first. James my instructor made me feel so relaxed and he is so patient with me as I learn the ‘reins’ again.Donna, makes you feel like you are part of the ‘horse family’.I wouldn’t use any other stables and I will always recommend them to anyone. Love the horse that they picked for me…she’s perfect. Thank you you guys.
Joe Howard: B good for children good parking and to
GJ Stevens: Great place, been bring my son here for several weeks and he's come on leaps and bounds.Trainers are very knowledgeable and approachable. They know where the student is at so won't push too far or hold them back.Needs a little sprucing up but you don't spend enough time inside to worry about it.Some lovely horses. All healthy and happy and different horses for every level of rider.Well worth a visit if you are looking at lessons for a little one.
Joanne Guyan: My daughter has just started having private beginner lessons here and is loving them. The staff are really friendly and supportive
Tony O'Brien: Without doubt,the best and safest horse riding school and livery yard I know of..and I have owned horses for 20 years.. best knowledge and experience available from very dedicated staff.. be proud.Yes..I would recommend it too.
j: Not very welcoming
Donna Sibley: First ride in around 6 years so was feeling quite nervous but such a wonderful lesson from Donna on Deli. Thanks so much and will be back soon
Glemis Angel: Awesome place, beautiful horses and friendly people
Lorraine Roberts: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value
Stanley Walker: My granddaughter has been here for over a year , she loves everything about it . She has learned a lot and has joined saddle club and can't wait for that to continue.
Lauren Lewis: Had my first lesson today along with my sister, everything was lovey from the minute we arrived and everyone was really polite! We were nervous to begin with after not being on a horse for what felt like for ever but our instructor Amy really helped us get over that too the point we were trotting over poles on the first lesson! Sally and deli really looked after us on our ride:)
Pauline Wild: I have telephoned repeatedly. I have emailed several times. I have paid for postage. I have been assured that the vouchers for my granddaughter's birthday gift for her first 2 trial riding sessions will be sent. This has been going on for more than 2weeks!
Barbara Calland: Very good my grandaugh been done half hour private lessons been to day in-group done well
Judy Michaelides: We went as a birthday treat for my husband . What a relaxing time we had walking through the woods and fields even spotted 2 baby rain deer 🦌 on are walk
Izabela Kasek: Amazing place!
Robin: I ride here and go down on Saturdays to help out. Everyone is friendly and honest, really recommend for all types of riders.
Claire Saunders: I used to ride here and do volunteer work alot at weekends a few years back. Loved it! Such friendly people and the horses all have there own personalitys, great to ride for all abilities! Loved the track at the back near itchen valley too! Wish I'd stayed on but had to move on finding a full time job and cost of running my first car. Great hobby it was at the time though and their prices are actually very good. They are very organised and get you ready on your horse on time.
Ellen.J _s: A great place for beginners and the more experienced riders. The horses are lovely and all very gentle and the leaders are also very good. I would highly recommend it to everyone. You can also be sure that the lessons are nearly always on what ever the weather. The day courses are very nice to you get to meet many new friends and horse lovers, it is a great experience for anyone.
Donna Alden: 👌🏻 a family run riding school , with a friendly , professional staff , with lovely horses 🐴. Would definitely recommend this riding school to anyone from a beginner to the advanced rider . 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Shedfield Riding School: what do users think?
Christina Juster: Son just had his first ever riding lesson today, had Chloe as instructor who was very calm and patient but also really encouraging and informative. Son really enjoyed his lesson and will be coming back, learned so much in first lesson and was given lots of confidence. Booking process also easy and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Kelly Thomas: Booked a lesson on certain horse . To be given different horse and lied to told horse has been worked today ,to then see that horse going in for lesson straight after my lesson .. and to book teacher for lesson who was told wrong time and have a 16/ 17 year old yard hand telling me what to do , they lie and just want your money , was rude and disrespectful and told go else were
Les Wakeford: Amazing lesson with the best group of girls. Can't wait for the next one.
Na0 mi: Its been over 2 weeks since my daughter broke her arm here, when 3 horses became agitated and bucked 3 children off. No ambulance was called despite requests made. I am still awaiting copies of accident and witness forms, cctv footage, insurance details and any kind of explanation as to why this happened. When I telephone I’m told management is not available and they will call me back, they do not. I am told after they have a meeting regarding the incident I will be updated, I am not.I was happy for my daughter to attend here due to the fact the website states that they are BHS approved. This is false, British Horse Society have confirmed that they are not approved. Trading standards aware.
Nicola Green: Lovely friendly place to ride, would recommend
Ryan Montague: Nice place
Leah Moffatt: Brilliant riding stables with very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Teaching is very good and horses are friendly. Can highly recommend the place.

Catherine Mcilveen: Lovely friendly place. All the instructors so far have all been friendly and professional.
Leanne Dempsey: Great instructors. Friendly riding school.
Joseph Cole: Excellent stables/School highly recommend
Rosie: Booked a riding lesson for my granddaughter. Daughter arrived with granddaughter 10mins early as requested. Very disorganised as they did not have a horse ready for them. After half an hour waiting for the horse to be set up it started to rain so her lesson was done in the pouring rain. The first teacher was very impatient with my granddaughter as she was a little apprehensive as she was only 3yrs old. A lovely girl named Harriet took over and was very patient and professional.Unfortunately, will not return as it seems they need to get there act together and employ all child friendly staff.
Matthew David Evans: Where Chantelle works and rides
Jonquille Russell: Returned to riding after a 13 year break courtesy of a Mother's Day treat. Staff were friendly and the yard tidy. I had an amazing 30 minute private lesson on a well kept and easy going horse. My instructor was brilliant and I was impressed that after my lesson my horse cooled down with a slow walk around the arena. Thank you for a great experience!
Amanda Boulton: Friendly and very welcoming staff. I have been learning for 4 months and every lesson has been amazing. My instructor is fantastic. I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn to ride, whatever age!!

Brockenhurst Riding Stables: what do users think?
Ryan Pearcy: Not a great experience. Expensive for what you get. The lady in charge was a bit rude and didn't make our family feel welcome at all. The helmets were very old and the equipment on the horses wasn't much better. The guide was not friendly at all and was more concerned with complaining about a Shetland trying to keep up with the 2 horses he was leading. The route was plesent but no warning was given to the ground which was a mud bath which ruined one of the groups trainers walking next to her young child leaving her son alone up front. Thankfully my daughter didn't realise all this and fully enjoyed the trip.
Bill Crutcher: Great Place I would recommend to anyone.
Voice of truth: Excellent little trek through The New Forest for our 3 children. The owner is so knowledgeable and was awesome when our 4 year old was too frightened to go on little Gremlin, luckily one of the party swapped with Sausage and our 4 year was soon laughing and giggling out on the trek. The ponies in our group, Freddie, Poppy, Gremlin, Sausage and Tomato were smartly turned out and well cared for and the owner chatted to us all the way round. The owner of this stable doesn't realise just what an amazing time she made it for 3 special needs children.
H SH: Amazing staff, my daughter loves it, I recommend and Will definitely go again
Dave Fletcher: Great little place, kids will love it ! Only 5 horses including 2 Shetlands ! Lead rides around the stunning area of Brockenhurst ...
Maria Eddles: Lovely place really friendly people and horses. Would go back again
Peter Padfield: Way better than some of the reviews. Listen to what they say they are going to do.....and what they want you to do and you won't be disappointed.
naomi powell: Lovely hack with Toni in the beautiful surroundings of the wonderful New Forest 🐴 ❤️ Already booked another hack when down next time in May !
Sergio Oliveira: It's probably a good idea to contact beforeComing here
K W: Awful awful awful. Should be shut down!
Sophie Morley: Great experience for our 4 year old. She loved riding little Tomato! Friendly staff, gorgeous horses.
Kish Kishto: Friendly staff, beautiful stables, lovely horses, one of the most friendly riding stable we've been. 🏇🏾
Laura Fenner: My three year old had a really enjoyable first-ever ride on Sausage the Shetland. My husband and I were able to walk alongside her. Pony handler was fab and got involved in many renditions of ‘horsey horsey’ on the trek just shy of an hour. Booking over the phone was easy, clear instructions then and also on the day with regard to ensuring a covid-safe experience which we really appreciated. All staff we encountered were friendly and approachable. We were part of a small mixed group and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had the best possible experience for their needs. We’ll definitely visit again.
Claire Wright: Such an amazing experience for riding! So much thanks to Sharon and all the staff. The horses and equipment were all really good, can’t recommend enough
Adventures with Rosie: Amazing time! We were a little concerned after reading a few bad reviews, but honestly I have no idea what people are complaining about! Lovely friendly owner and staff, fantastic, safe ponies and horses, ride tailored exactly to everyone's ability. My youngest daughter was on lead rein and walk/trot only, my eldest is a capable rider and went off with a smaller group for several good canters. Couldn't have asked for anything more, would definitely return!
Emily Baker: Critical:Communication,ProfessionalismRude over the phone. Didn't end up booking due to price and how unfriendly and unhelpful the person on the end of the phone was. Therefore can't comment on the actual experience.
Katie Hayes: We really enjoyed our experience, although when we initially turned up some of our party were wearing shorts so were turned away to get changed, which wasn't a great start. Luckily we were camping nearby so they could get changed but this should have been clearer on the booking information. We were then given forms to fill out but no clipboard to lean on so we struggled to complete them. The ride itself was lovely and the staff were great but it was a shame that we were lead in single file for the whole duration and not given the opportunity to space out a little to enjoy the experience. My youngest loved it though and it really was a highlight to our holiday!
Emily Renaud: Be very careful to bring medical details with you, or you might not be able to take part (this is on their website, be sure to read it carefully). I was unable to take part due to my epilepsy.My friend who was able to go says the experience was "okay" but that the instructors weren't very clear when it came to learning to trot. It was more expected of you to know what to do.Probably better for slightly experienced riders, rather than beginners.
Lizanne Robey: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Value
Simon Manser: Sharon was lovely with a very pleasant phone manner. We’re on our second visit and Staff are very welcoming and helpful again.My daughter loved the experience and I would definitely recommend for a beginner or novice who simply understands the joy of being on the horse. 👍🏼
Rachel Davis: I was grateful for a beautiful ride in the new forest. The horse was so gentle and lovely to ride and the lady that took us out was ensured everybody was happy through out the ride.I was upset that when I got back from my 2hr ride with lots of cantering on a warm summers day. The horse was taken back out for another hack straight away without a drink or a rest. Customer service before the ride was quite rude, I was told off for touching a fence due to COVID and just generally quite abrupt and the atmosphere was tense.Due to this, I would not return or recommend this stables sadly.

Ampfield Riding Stables: what do users think?
July NG: 1. No enough "Professional Equestrian Coach" -- we really do not want to pay GBP42 to get a student training. Really feeling sad.To be honest Recently private lessons go really poor. Only see one "Professional Equestrian Coach" lots old Coach left. The owner start use student to do the private training. Told us the student are qualified. 2. We have been asked pay GBP420 for 10 lessons, we went to there 4 times, they only offer 2.5 half lessons 3. Each lessons give a different Coach and we have meet 3 different coach to teach our daughter and the last lessons only 15 minutes even we pay GBP42( then we make phone call to complain, then the owner complain back said we speak to louder and she think a customer speaker louder complain is rude and looking for excuses to stop any lessons to us. ) 4. We have waiting 2 days and no any lessons and no any return payment to us . 5. When the owner could not offer professional service. She only try to tell customers she is older enough ( don't allow customers complain even they give poor service) 6. To be honest the Ampfield Riding Stables staff told us the owner crying really reason is she lost her some special relative and could not Control emotion 7. The owner just mix private life and business together. As customers we just want to get professional service. 8. When we Meet the owner daughter and ask her return our rest payment if the stop give us any lessons ( 7.5 lessons cost need return). She start use Vicious language attacks and abuse customers . 9. We really want to ask the owner did you know what is really rude? ( we do believe you know your daughter more than anybody else) 10. Wish you can improve your business services not always looking for excuses it is not any helpful .
Monika M: Today I had my second horse riding lesson with Beth. I can honestly say she is the best. Very friendly and patient. All other staff are equally amazing - polite, chatty and smiley 😊 Horses are well looked after and very gentle. 100% recommend!
Hannah Eves: We showed up for our 2pm appointment as agreed on the phone and were told very sarcastically that it was 230pm. Then we were told we didn't have the right shoes on so couldn't ride. Which we were not told beforehand you needed boots. I am not impressed with how they dealt with the situation and how rude she came across. When she told us we had to go buy shoes we just left and didn't come back.
James Kerr: We brought our children here for a pony birthday party. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the kids had a great fun time. Good parking but road full of pot holes on the way. It was a great place to be on a lovely spring day.
holly berry: 😐🤢🤮🤢🤬 worst place on earth if I could give it no stars I would
Helene Skinner: Brilliant time taking my 2 young granddaughters for their first time ever on a horse. Really helpful staff.
hester bennett: Can't wait for my daughter and I to start lessons next week. We had a very warm welcome this evening and are both super excited about returning. Thanks Rachel! Xx
Gabriela Cichon: Positive:Communication,Professionalism1 month ago my dad's account(Marcel Cichon) had been hacked into, I apologies for any inconvenience caused by this. I would recommend Ampfield stables as my daughters rode there and were very pleased. The staff members are always there to help you.
marcel cichon: I would not recommend this riding school the ponies are not well looked after they stand in filthy stables and disgusting shelter barely brushed. The staff are rude and the volunteers do what they can but they are only children
Mr Mxyzptlk: Fantastic place to learn.
Caroline Allen: My daughter has one to one lessons here and has come on leaps and bounds. She really looks forward to her lessons and her instructor is fantastic and has really allowed my daughter to gain her confidence.
Lora Townsend: One of the best yards I've ever had contact with, I keep my horse here and can honestly say that I never have to worry about the level of care provided, everyone is so lovely and accommodating and the team go out of their way to make sure everyone is happy and that all horses are well looked after. The facilities are great and everything you need is there when you need it. Highly recommended for liveries or lessons.
Wendy Pilton: I cannot recommend this stables enough, the instructors are very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and know exactly what you are thinking, so know how to help you improve. It's good to have instructors who are also out competing at a high level as well as teaching, giving you something to aspire to (or aspire to being even a fraction as good as them!). It is not an average riding school, the ponies do not have long days and there is a wide range of ponies and horses, including some very talented ones, rather than ones that are just trained to plod round the school for an hour
Catherine Kramer: I would not recommend for the Own a Pony Day. Only one adult to 10 young children, no space for children to actually look after their nominated pony and extremely low level of cleanliness. I stayed for the majority of day as did not feel confident leaving my 2 children in care of this establishment. I furthermore received an extremely aggressive and threatening phone call from the manager on Sunday evening demanding immediate payment when I had clearly communicated I would not be able to pay until Sunday night when I returned home. She screamed at me telling me if I did not pay I 'would receive a visitor'. Extremely unprofessional and not at all the type of person I would want around my children.
Abbie Lee: Amazing Stables. Really friendly. The lessons are great. They have a lot of horses which are about the same ability to you and it’s so much fun. There pony days are full of fun all day. You get to see what it’s like for the helpers and do what they do. I have been to a few and have enjoyed every one. I’m glad I started riding there because I can now focus on small things to make my riding brilliant. I really recommend Ampfield Riding Stables! ❤️❤️Also a big thank you to the instructors for pushing me to jump and I am glad I stayed riding here. And hopefully I will keep on going here
Lindsey Hunt: Amazing yard with the loveliest people. They are always so welcoming and helpful . Tarz and Charlotte are just fantastic instructors. Could not have hoped for more for our daughter. She is so happy here .
Kate Cooper: Went to ampfield riding stables today for my first lesson after over 2 years of no riding, I instantly felt relaxed once I was on horseback in the school thanks to my riding teacher. Felt no pressure as you would at other schools, the staff are very friendly and extremely positive! Perfect yard to start back from scratch and to reach your goals which I’m feeling very positive about.Can’t wait to return next week for my 2nd lesson.
George Hunt: Great yard...
Michael Barnes: Fun place, friendly and allowed to muck in!
darren poulton: Perfect riding stables great staff
Jason Piggott: Nice friendly staff reasonably priced
