I worked at Meadowbrook Stables as a working student from October 08 - July 09. I am hard to please…read morebut this place was and IS absolutely fantastic! The yard is extremely well layed out and maintained to excellent standards. Its a such a nice place to be with a brill atmosphere! All the horses are treated as individuals with the respect and love they deserve, which in turn they give back. The horses are fantastically schooled and extremely well mannered. They themselves can teach you to ride once you have learnt to understand what they're telling you! The people that teach also work with the horses on the yard and ride them themselves, and so have an excellent understanding of how each horse works and how to get the best out of them. You can have lessons in anything from stable management, to ridden lateral work, to in hand and lunging. All lessons are conducted in a professional yet friendly manner at the clients pace with everything being explained step by step. I myself have seen huge improvement in all clients whether they come weekly or just for a one off lesson :) Lessons at Meadowbrook's is DEFINITE VALUE FOR MONEY!! I totally recommend it and shall be continuing having lessons there despite living a hundred miles away - literally! this is such a fantastic place if u want to learn if u ever need to know something there will always be someone on hand with a smile and an answer. If You want to know more about anything Sam Jamieson (owner) would be more than happy to help. Give her a call or text on 07866426969 or email from the website http://www.meadowbrookstables.co.uk Honestly, Try It xx definitely worth it ! :) :) :) Steph :)

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to take horse riding lessons locally and we couldn't be happier than we are with Chibley Farm. Trina Lewis' yard is well kept and we were greeted by friendly staff. I used to own horses and have done a fair amount of jumping so I was looking for a centre which cateres just as well for adults as it does for children (most centres in my experience have many ponies but few suitable horses for adults who aren't beginners). Saying that, it has been a long time since I have ridden and so I was also looking to build my confidence and start again with the basics. My husband has never ridden before and so we needed safe hoses to learn on and patient teachers. This is where Chibley Farm comes into its own. Trina is an excellent teacher and ambitious for her pupils my husband was cantering by week three and he is over the moon. The other teachers (Pippa and Sarah) are also excellent and are genuinely committed to improving your riding skills. If you are looking to learn to ride, and ride well, then I would highly recommend Chibley Farm Centre.

I booked a private hack in hopes that I'd be able to canter through Hyde Park and, wow, I was not disappointed! The Stables cater to all levels. Never ridden a horse before? You can try it in Hyde Park. Your kid wants a pony ride? They do that too. Want to canter for miles and put a big grin on your face? That was me! I arrived a bit later than expected because the alleyway to the stables was hard to find. Ross Nye and Hyde Stables are next door to each other so be sure to check you're at the right place too. When I arrived, all the horses were tacked up and ready to go. And, for us travelers, they have plenty of helmets and boots (in fair shape) to borrow. No need to use up that precious luggage space. I hopped on and we were immediately off to the Park! I'm really glad I booked a private hack and would recommend you do too. While I have a few years experience riding, another rider had none at all. My "guide," Annie was lovely! She was very knowledgeable about the Park, pointing out sites and fountains and had tidbits of information about everything (even the French from which "Rotten Row" was translated). And, once she knew I could keep up, we cantered all over the Park! I was thrilled. She was also very conscientious of safety, flagging down traffic so we could cross busy London streets and to stopping our canter set when an oblivious little girl wandered across our path. My horse, Clifton, was fantastic! He had an unexpectedly lofty, bouncy gait and was unphased by anything around us. I wish I could have brought him home. Most importantly, the horses were well cared for. I was told they had 16 horses at the London stables. And, when the horses show signs of being overwhelmed with city life, they are given time off in pastures in Chilworth. In fact, the barn shuts down at certain times of the year to rest all of the horses so inquire about your travel dates when you book. I can't recommend this place enough! No matter your riding experience, you'll have a fantastic time.

The horses at Monty's Equestrian Centre are well trained & looked after also are suitable to any ages & levels. Monty's also have other animals such as Goats, pigs, peacocks, ducks, etc.

They are separated from each other and have separate arena's to ride in. You can also take your horse around the fields where they have ditch's, mounds and jumps set up. I took riding lessons here when i was younger and loved riding here and helping out with the care of the horses. The lessons are an hour long and are held in the inside arena when cold and wet and the outside ithe summer time.

The instructor's are friendly and helpful and the lessons are great, letting you expieriance riding in indoor and outdoor school's aswell as in a showjumping field and cross country. The horse's are amazing and range from the simplest horse to the cheekiest little pony, there are quick and steady ones, big and small, they are all fantastic and cover a wide range of abilities! If you want to go to a friendly, helpful riding school here is definatly the place. I love it!

THE WORST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO BUY A PUPPY FROM!!…read more Very neglected puppies kept in very dirty environment and been sold by a very rude person called Wendy who obviously just does this for the money as she obviously doesn't care about the animals as when we went to view the puppies they all ran away and were absolutely frightened to death!! When we eventually managed to get hold of one we took her outside to get a better look as they were being kept outside in very dirty stables without light.The puppy had runny eyes and nose and was very very smelly but we knew we could take care of the puppy when we got her home. The vaccinations were not even up to date!! The seller(Wendy) then just kept repeating you have to make your mind up quickly as i'm very busy and have other stuff to do!! She even told us off for being 15 mins early to view the puppies!! Both the parents of the puppy were frightened also and were showing their teeth at us and we couldn't get anywhere near them!! As animal lovers we were sad to see the way these puppies were been kept in these awful conditions and the way all the puppies were frightened to death of people that we decided to buy the puppy just to get it away from that place! The puppy always holds her head down and will not move an inch and that's not normal for a puppy at 13 weeks old unless they have been mistreated in any way!! Never had a phone call from Wendy the seller to ask how the puppy is getting on which just confirms that she really doesn't care for these animals and is just doing it for the money!! We will be reporting this place to the RSPCA asap!!
