Horse holiday from Heaven Advantages: So different from the usual riding holiday Disadvantages: Need a car to get there - or a horse - or a mule! Little did I realise what a chance search for 'Riding' and 'Spain' would bring up on eBay. I wasn't disappointed! A love of horses, a wish to get away, get some sun, see Spain and its culture and be with great likeminded company would seem a tall order but Villa Roxmar fulfilled all my wishes and more. Within a day I would be away from it all, riding in the footsteps of Clint Eastwood, and living and breathing Spanish horses! Whether taking a relaxing ... ...just spending time around the yard, Villa Roxmar has it all! Within walking distance of the wonderfully Spanish and quaint Tabernas,- great for extremely cheap and delicious 'tapas' lunches - and in the desert to provide great riding, Villa Roxmar is ideally positioned. A warm welcome for Rob and Carol await along with beautifully clean and high quality accommodation. A range of horses and the totally loveable mule 'Mula' (you will want to take him ... anthonyfj 11.12.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Horse riding holidays at Desert Riders Spain
Callum park =] Advantages: patient instructors Disadvantages: price but good riding schools are like that , sooo none really :) ...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 ... ...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 ...

Good But Prices Riding High! Advantages: well maintained, good facilities, hacking in Trent Park, easy to get to Disadvantages: busy, disorganised, expensive *Facilities* Trent Park Equestrian Centre (TPEC) is close to Oakwood Station (Piccadilly Line) and also has plenty of parking. They have a large selection of horses (over 100) so can cater for various abilities and the horses themselves seem fairly happy. The yard is always being cleaned and the three schooling areas (two of which are under cover) are well maintained. There's a small cafe and other clients seem friendly. Generally, the instructors ... ...and attentive. *Riding Wear* You can rent boots, crops and hats from TPEC for your lesson. They also sell a limited range of riding wear. The kit can be expensive, so I would advise you to perservere with renting if you are new to riding, untill you are sure you want to continue. *Time keeping* The centre has excellent facilities, but I had previously been left waiting up to 20 minutes of my 1 hour lesson (pre-booked and paid for) to use ... qwerty30 27.08.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Trent Park Riding Centre
Should be Easier to Get Your Leg Over. Advantages: Saves lengthening stirrup. Disadvantages: No pocket, muddy. I have kept horses for years. The mounting block at the yard is huge, which is great. However, continually using the mounting block has reduced my ability to mount from the ground, which is alright when I have the use of the mounting block. What happens if I have to get off when I am out though? Mounting. * * * * * * * * When getting on a horse, it is better for the horses back and the saddle if you can use a mounting block to get on. When I am ... ...the mounting block. I am alright when on my 15.2hh mare, I can get on no problem. My 16.2hh is a bit more difficult, I am 5 foot 4. I can manage but I have to put the stuirrup down 6 and then up again when I am on, or I find a stone to stand on or a higher bit of bank. Show grounds are generally flat, so I take steps there to get on.When I get off to walk the course though, I am not going to walk all the way back to the trailer to get on again.

Trent Valley Equestrian - the best in the area Advantages: Covers everything for ages 4-94, lead rein to three day event Disadvantages: I just wish it was closer to home (but it's still worth the travel!) Trent Valley Equestrian Centre is a fantastic riding school and livery/competition yard - very friendly, very professional, very welcoming. Our daughter would live there if she could even though she doesn't have her own pony! From lead rein to three day event, from age 4 to 94 this is the place to learn to ride, to improve your riding and compete at every level. TVEC view riding as a complete activity including horse care and stable management - ... ...Pony Club, ABRS, BHS, NVQ - you name it, they do it. Every month it seems there is a new development - something small like a new stable door or something big like the new 1800 sq m International Level Indoor Arena to complement the four floodlit ourdoor arenas. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself at one of their regular open shows. ... nmeciao 25.05.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Trent Valley Equestrian Centre Ltd
