Took my two granddaughters..Ella and Katie to Crindle Stables for a Christmas treat….they had an hour of fun… Amy and Hannah are just the loveliest of girls so friendly and great with the wee ones.They will definitely be back again. And a shout out to Sophie who we got talking to with a world of information..Thank you girls we had a fun time. xx

Queenie McGonigal

Fabulous experience!!

Our daughter absolutely loved it – she is only 20 months and the team took their time to introduce her to lots of ponies and horses first, then showed her other children wearing their helmets so that she wasn’t scared by the time it was her time to ride the pony. They did lots of different exercises and built up their confidence. A great experience and we would definitely do regular lessons if we lived in the area. Thanks very much!

Hilary Hansen

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.

Lorraine Proctor

 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 ✨️
