Chelsea-Leigh Bennett:) Sunday Girl:)…read more AMAZING! Ive been going to this stables for about 8-9 years and its brilliant! All the ponies are well cared for and are great to ride. The owner Bonnie can be strict at times but its just to get you to be the best you can be and it is also for yours and the horses safety. Its a great experience and i love to go every sunday. Its great for begginers and experienced riders both! The price is good and i find that at the end of every lesson i have a smile on my face:) People might think that the horses are 'plodders' as i have read on one previous comment but thats harsh as they are well looked after and are happy and friendly, and it all depends on how well you get them up together in the ride. I would highly recommend this stables for anyone, because it has helped me progress through the years and become a better horsewoman. Bonnie and Jordan are very friendly despite what people may say and i have had goods rides with them both. Every week i find myself learning something new and interesting. I never get tired of the lessons because i love horses so much and practise makes perfect. My favourite things to do in the lessons are: -jumping -bareback -canters -no stirrups and i like to ask bonnie to have hard rides as i like a challenge I love this stables and ive made lots of friends, horses included, if people dont like it here then thats there choice but i wouldnt go to any others stables. Amazing!

Pros: 1) Staff was friendly and food was great! 2) I love Herpy the Border Collie, he's so smart and adorable 3) Best-looking horses I have seen 4) I like the cats too 5) I was invited to watch lessons and had fun interacting with the horses Cons: 1) Coach sometimes forgot about me and left me alone to untack a horse for the first time, and in lessons also; but I am a free-spirited type so it's ok to leave me alone; from health and safety point of view that is a minus 2) Prices are quite high, especially since I have to travel some distance to the location 3) Did not learn as much as I had hoped

I've been visiting Jills riding establishment for nearly 8 years and cannot recommend them highly…read moreenough. They offer fantastic tuition on the most wonderful horses in the most beautiful setting. They offer lessons for a wide range on disciplines and the instructors are friendly and very encouraging - my riding has improved massively and confidence has grown so much since I've been riding there and I travel regularly from London to get my riding fix. They have amazing hacking on their doorstep and I have enjoyed many fun rides and xc course hires on their incredibly reliable well schooled horses who are a joy to ride. The yard staff are helpful and accommodating. If you're thinking of booking do it! You won't be disappointed and I recommend them to everyone I know. I will be a customer for life

My husband rode horses during his boarding school days and was eager to ride again. But the rest of the family didn't have any previous experience but the staff was quite patient and gave us basic instructions on how to steer the horse and ride slowly through the countryside. We had 1:1 guide with us the entire time. The only thing I was surprised about was them tagging on another 8.5 pounds for an assessment. Wasn't sure what's there to assess since we were all beginners. The staff explained that it was to match us with the "right" horse. Anyway, other than that, overall, it was a pleasant experience and if you're into horses and want to see the countryside, this is a great way to do it.

Ok so this isn't in Cardiff but its pretty near and something I think everyone should do…read more Despite the fact that I got thrown of my horse onto the ground, this is one of the best riding experiences I have had. Just for the record being thrown happened because something spooked my horse. All of their horses are really well trained and you get a horse suited to your ability and size. So basically the ride involves wading through the river, walking through the sand dunes (canter if your experienced) and then you get to go onto the beach right up to the sea front if your horse is in the mood. I've ridden before and loved being able to have a gallop on the beach. Instructors stay with more nervous or less experienced riders, but still offer advice if our out of practice and need a few pointers. The views are stunning and you just know these are well looked after horses and are having as much fun as you are. 2 Hours costs £35 which is a bargain.

However I had a nasty accident and landed on my neck whilst on our trampoline. I rang that morning to cancel and apologise as I had to go to the hospital. Angela was blunt, rude and I ended up emotionally upset when the phone was put down. She told me I was not welcome to ride at their stables again which I have been doing so for the past 5 years (every time for my birthday). I feel I gave them sufficient notice so that the horses wouldn't have been tacked up ready for us and its not like we just didn't turn up. I am appauled by the lack of customer service or compassion. I will not be attending here again.

Pat took our booking, Sally gathered our stats (weight, height, ability, etc) and ensured our wearing of proper gear. Dawn was our guide. The four assigned horses: Mr. Diddles, Max, Springy, and Nibbles (we think...), were perfectly matched. What a glorious adventure. There were many others that ensured our safety and horse riding pleasure. The ride took us through a Cotswold village, fun for us visitors. If only we'd had more time!!! Thank you all, Durham Farms!
