Yelp review. Harelaw EC. Aug 30 2014…read more I am so content having been to the horses. A wonderful hack. A great instructor. So positive. We are going to get me cantering by this time next year she said!! I'm so thrilled. I lack a lot of confidence with horse despite loving them so much. Such a lovely array of sizes. Tiny we Shetland and huge 17 hand gentle giants. Everyone is dead nice. Lots of wee young people helping. Mucking, feeding, filling taking water, tacking up. Tacking down. The horses all seem happy and relaxed. Tremendous.

A great place to begin to learn polo in a safe atmosphere. The horses are so safe and well trained. Lessons £35 per person, no previous experience required. Kinross polo club is also the home of several universities including Aberdeen, St Andrews and Stirling.

My wife, daughter and I visited Blackstone Clydesdales a year ago, April 2024 and since that day I…read morehave been wanting to write a review, which I rarely do. It is 50 weeks since we went and it is still fresh on our minds. My wife and daughter rode these majestic monsters, while I, with limited experience (no skills) got to do cuddle time - i had to do something... BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! It was a virtual fantasy to be able to pet these friendly animals and little ones too who just finished weening. they all came up to me (and daughter when she was done riding) and we got to feed them carrots which they were of course happy to have. The owners were fantastic people and made the experience out of this world with the rapport, guidance and fun banter as this American struggled a couple times to make it past his brogue :D. I'm sure my Boston accent didn't help. i would absolutely do this again without skipping a beat, and my wife and daughter feel the same. When my daughter, who just turned 11, heard me tell my wife i was writing a review on Blackstone, lit up wanting to see if the horse she rode was still there. Great memories were made that day for all!! Highly recommended!!!

Great people and beautiful animals, and an unforgettable experience! The Clydesdale's are amazing…read moreand you can ride them. They also have provided care for some Clydesdale's in need. Well worth traveling from Chicago!

It seems very well organised. £10 for a 20 minute ride around the camp is not a bad price. It includes a free photo of your child on the horse as well. She loved it so much that she went back the next day to do it again and she was given a horseshoe by the girl who took her round as a momento. All the staff a polite and friendly and approachable and we all loved the dog, Wally. He greets you with a wagging tail for a stroke as soon as you walk in.

Set in the most beautiful of settings Pollok Park, one can enjoy the semi rural setting and get the kids active in a skill which develops the ideal of responsibility for animal welfare, and keeps them physically fit at the same time.

After my horse got injured and we found out that she would be out of riding action for at least a…read moreyear, I started getting lessons at Busby just to make sure I didn't lose my edge. The first thing I realised from getting lessons again was how many bad habits that I used to pick up. That was great! Not that I had got a bit rubbish, but that the instructors could point them out to me in such detail. Second lesson, new instructor, she was like 'canter round, do a 20 circle and join the rear', to which I completed and then she mumbled, 'good next'. Clearly not as thorough or possibly as well qualified as the first, but I guess that s the luck of the draw. I knew for sure I hadn't progressed that much, and the fact that she wasn't even watching left me in disbelief. Actually a common problem at alot of stables I think, where some are much more positive about the job than others.

When I was younger my parents for some reason wanted to get me into horse riding but I've always…read morehad an irrational fear of horses for some unknown reason, I think it's the smell of stables, it makes me feel sick and I remember when I was around 5 my mum took me here for my first ever lesson. As young as I was I can still vividly remember the dingy stable, the awful smell and the awful horse riding outfits. I wanted to cry when they brought out the scabby old helmet which had been worn by so many other horse riders, it just looked disgusting. Oh and that smell. I could never ever get used to that. This whole day must have been so traumatic for me as I can remember it so well yet I was so young. My mum didn't stay with me as the owner told her to go home and pick me up in an hour and maybe that's another reason why I was so terrified, as I didn't know the people here and they clearly didn't put me at ease. I remember my horse kept stopping to do its business so I got very little riding done, complete waste of time. To my parents dismay I didn't want to go back and ever since I've been absolutely terrified of horses. I guess I probably did them a favour though, as horse riding isn't exactly the cheapest hobby in the world. However, I realise I was very young and horse riding was never going to be my thing. So for people who are actually into horse riding, then I'm sure the Busby Equitation Centre is pretty good, it is very popular and has been around for years. You can do a gentle spot of pony treking here, or more advanced horse riding events such as show jumping and dressage.
