I am 12 years young and i have been going to callum park for almost six years , the instructors there are patient and are willing to help you with anything that you are stuck on , they wont mind if your not comfortable on the horse you ride , instead they will let you request for another pony/horse to your liking , the horses there are calm reliable and kind , only some are cheeky and hard to work but thats the way it goes , the more advanced you are the more harder you have to work , i really love this riding school it really is a great place to be , i have almost been moved to another one before and i started to cry so in the end i didn't , luckily for me:) i highly recommend this riding school, its for for all ages , everyone gets to know each over and its easy to make friends , its very welcoming too , if anything if i could i would live at those stables all the stable hands are very helpful , and the pony's are just adorable :) xx
Advantages: Friendly, dedicated staff. Excellent choice of horses. Disadvantages: The price (but that is the same everywhere).
...been having riding lessons at Callum Park for the last two years. I am sure that I have challenged some of the instructors, as I am in my 50s and had not ridden for 30-odd years!

Hacks are available in the Summer months, and there is an indoor school and two large outdoor maneges.
I cannot speak highly enough of the staff or the horses. I plan to continue riding there for many years to come. ...

Advantages: Good instructors; lovely horses and very patient instructors Disadvantages: Can be pricey if you have private lessons, but other than that there are none.
...am an older rider at Callum Park and I would say to anyone who is thinking of taking up horse riding - then this is the place to come if you live within travelling distance. Yes it is a bit expensive, but all decent riding schools are nowadays. Whether you want to just learn the basics, or develop skills in jumping and dressage, there are instructors and horses to suit your requirements.
I regularly join the hacks in the summer months and I also ... ...I enjoy. I have also learned a lot and my basic riding skills have really improved.
I would urge anyone to give it a go. As long as you have the correct riding wear, then the only expense is the weekly lesson (and if you join in group lessons then the cost is very reasonable).
Go on, have a go, you won't regret it. ...
