★★★★★Featured review by Tracey Baird

Amazing equestrian facility. Great events for all levels but particularly fantastic for new riders and green horses. You can arrange use of facilities with a ground fee and Sonja is an experienced coach available for training.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for kids and adults wanting a low-key, supportive setting to start or extend their riding — reviewers describe the atmosphere as warm and patient. Particularly mentioned for nervous beginners and for green-horse coaching. The low-key events let new riders compete without the pressure of larger competitions.
