Wanting to give your kids their first riding experiance then here is the place to go. Very well tempered horses that respond well. The staff are very friendly and give you lots of information about the horses etc, letting the guests help prep the horses to create a bond as well as add to the overall experiance. My daughter left on cloud 9 after having the best experience we will definitely come back again

This is a special place. In 45 years of horse riding at a variety of 'commercial' stables, this one is the best. An incredible relationship with the horses and an ethos of riding that is special to observe. It is wonderful to able to handle a horse 'off the mouth' as too many places rely on bits that cause hard handling, particularly as many people state they can ride at a higher level than they actually can.
My 7 year old went on a side track with one of the guides and she felt incredibly secure. I really like the respect for the environment in terms of keeping the more sedate rides for the heat of the day and taking more experienced riders when it is cooler. This respects what the animals would be doing in the wild and these horses are free roaming most of the time.
This is a special place and people should go there with the ethos in mind. A hidden treasure.Thank you.

What a joy it was. The guides are absolutely amazing and very intuitive. The friendliness just makes it a great experience. Will be there again!

This is a beautiful place with amazing staff. There are horse riding lessons weekdays just before your ride. The staff guides you through if you're a beginner; helping you get on top of the horse and showing you how it's controlled.

You're totally safe riding in the nature reserve; there's one experienced staff member leading the way since they only take certain routes and one can easily get lost. Moreover, there is another trained staff member riding at the back of the group to ensure that everyone is safe.

It's a lovely experience and atmosphere overall. You get to see the city from a different view.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the ride was very approachable for us (we had never ridden horses before). The trail was very nice with a beautiful view.

Overall the experience was great and we'd love to go again.

Very professional. Booking was made quite ahead in advance, but they reminded us by sms which helped a lot. They were so friendly and helpful. Our children are not used to horses but Siobhan and her colleagues were just awesome with our kids!
