Ride Nova SI

Advantages: excellent tuition and horses
Disadvantages: might have to wait to get a place

...I used to ride at snowdon but stopped when i got my own horse as i couldn't afford both. I went their for several years after starting riding at another school that although it became an ABRS school it was actually shocking. On discovering Snowdon, i had to wait to get a place but it was worth the wait as the tuiton, facilities and horses were all fantastic. i had many class lessons and a few privates and learnt a lot of new skills. I wouldnt class the horses as typical riding school ponies - they are a much better standard. In the summer i did a bit of xc which was always good fun and my jumping skills increased. Everyone was really friendly who worked there and it had a pleasant atmosphere. I made many good friends on my riding lessons as wel..... Read review

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.

...I too 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 take part in the group jumping lessons, both of which 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.... Read review
