This is one of the most friendly stables I have been too. Its relaxed , friendly, homely and so welcoming . we had a mini lesson before a trek and after there was no rush to get us away , we were allowed to groom the horses , see the other horses and ponies in the stables and spend as much time as we needed . The staff are so attentive, patient, non judgemental and know when to laugh with you and not at you … all in all we had a magical time and would highly recommend it …

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!

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!

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.
