The horse riding experience we had here yesterday was brilliant. Elliott and Amy were so friendly and professional, they looked after us from start to finish. We felt in safe hands, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Highly recommend 👌

Took my 7 year old & 3 year old for the todder/kid session and it was a fantastic experience! I was worried my kids would be nervous as they’ve never been horseriding before but the ponies were so calm the kids jumped straight on and had a ball! Lovely staff and arena. We also got to pet the many horses in the stalls. Really magical memories made ✨️

Best day for our kids!!

Both our boys (age 2+3) had the best time. Thanks to the staff for their patience and for making sure both kids had a fun time riding and brushing the horses. They haven’t stopped asking us to go back!

Excellent for lessons and they are very hands on in helping with any livery issues. Hazel treats all of the young riders as her own. The mini pony camps, gymkhana events and beach rides are all great fun too.
