Chelsea-Leigh Bennett:) Sunday Girl:)…read more AMAZING! Ive been going to this stables for about 8-9 years and its brilliant! All the ponies are well cared for and are great to ride. The owner Bonnie can be strict at times but its just to get you to be the best you can be and it is also for yours and the horses safety. Its a great experience and i love to go every sunday. Its great for begginers and experienced riders both! The price is good and i find that at the end of every lesson i have a smile on my face:) People might think that the horses are 'plodders' as i have read on one previous comment but thats harsh as they are well looked after and are happy and friendly, and it all depends on how well you get them up together in the ride. I would highly recommend this stables for anyone, because it has helped me progress through the years and become a better horsewoman. Bonnie and Jordan are very friendly despite what people may say and i have had goods rides with them both. Every week i find myself learning something new and interesting. I never get tired of the lessons because i love horses so much and practise makes perfect. My favourite things to do in the lessons are: -jumping -bareback -canters -no stirrups and i like to ask bonnie to have hard rides as i like a challenge I love this stables and ive made lots of friends, horses included, if people dont like it here then thats there choice but i wouldnt go to any others stables. Amazing!

Ok so this isn't in Cardiff but its pretty near and something I think everyone should do…read more Despite the fact that I got thrown of my horse onto the ground, this is one of the best riding experiences I have had. Just for the record being thrown happened because something spooked my horse. All of their horses are really well trained and you get a horse suited to your ability and size. So basically the ride involves wading through the river, walking through the sand dunes (canter if your experienced) and then you get to go onto the beach right up to the sea front if your horse is in the mood. I've ridden before and loved being able to have a gallop on the beach. Instructors stay with more nervous or less experienced riders, but still offer advice if our out of practice and need a few pointers. The views are stunning and you just know these are well looked after horses and are having as much fun as you are. 2 Hours costs £35 which is a bargain.

Myself and 4 friends were booked on to go riding for my birthday last weekend. I was so looking…read moreforward to it and the weather was amazing. However I had a nasty accident and landed on my neck whilst on our trampoline. I rang that morning to cancel and apologise as I had to go to the hospital. Angela was blunt, rude and I ended up emotionally upset when the phone was put down. She told me I was not welcome to ride at their stables again which I have been doing so for the past 5 years (every time for my birthday). I feel I gave them sufficient notice so that the horses wouldn't have been tacked up ready for us and its not like we just didn't turn up. I am appauled by the lack of customer service or compassion. I will not be attending here again.

I've been visiting Jills riding establishment for nearly 8 years and cannot recommend them highly…read moreenough. They offer fantastic tuition on the most wonderful horses in the most beautiful setting. They offer lessons for a wide range on disciplines and the instructors are friendly and very encouraging - my riding has improved massively and confidence has grown so much since I've been riding there and I travel regularly from London to get my riding fix. They have amazing hacking on their doorstep and I have enjoyed many fun rides and xc course hires on their incredibly reliable well schooled horses who are a joy to ride. The yard staff are helpful and accommodating. If you're thinking of booking do it! You won't be disappointed and I recommend them to everyone I know. I will be a customer for life

I read the last review and it wasn't reflective of the experience we had when we rode horses at…read moreJill's Carenza. My husband rode horses during his boarding school days and was eager to ride again. But the rest of the family didn't have any previous experience but the staff was quite patient and gave us basic instructions on how to steer the horse and ride slowly through the countryside. We had 1:1 guide with us the entire time. The only thing I was surprised about was them tagging on another 8.5 pounds for an assessment. Wasn't sure what's there to assess since we were all beginners. The staff explained that it was to match us with the "right" horse. Anyway, other than that, overall, it was a pleasant experience and if you're into horses and want to see the countryside, this is a great way to do it.

For those living in Whitchurch or the surrounding areas, this is a well-located riding stables…read morewhere you can have group lessons with well-qualified, BHS approved instructors in a lovely rural setting. It's situated on a lane just off the busy A37, near Whitehall Garden Centre, so it's right on the edge of Bristol in a beautiful, tranquil area of greenbelt - the perfect location for riding. The horses are well-cared for, and aren't over-used for lessons - they don't work long hours, and it shows - they're responsive, friendly and relaxed. The staff are equally friendly, and the whole stables is well-maintained, and although the outdoor school is a bit on the small side (20x40 metres) it's still big enough for a decent course of jumps and caters well for the reasonably small group sizes they usually include in lessons. Private lessons are also available, as are hacks out on the pretty lanes around the stables. If you own a horse or pony, they also provide good private (and well-ventilated) stabling, tack room facilities and quality grazing, on part / full working livery.

Pat took our booking, Sally gathered our stats (weight, height, ability, etc) and ensured our wearing of proper gear. Dawn was our guide. The four assigned horses: Mr. Diddles, Max, Springy, and Nibbles (we think...), were perfectly matched. What a glorious adventure. There were many others that ensured our safety and horse riding pleasure. The ride took us through a Cotswold village, fun for us visitors. If only we'd had more time!!! Thank you all, Durham Farms!

If you fancy getting fit in the great outdoors, then this is the place to go…read more Forget ancient old trekking ponies, this place has it all for the budding equestrian enthusiast. Whether you're an adult or a child, Liege Manor has a whole host of different lessons to fit in around your abilities and schedule. My best mate takes her daughter to this riding centre and I can't say enough good things about it. Lessons start at 7.30am and run well into the evening, and can be private, semi private or group. The instructors are fabulous, with many holding coveted awards for their experience. Patient, friendly and not at all intimidating, they make the lessons educational, but also great fun and rewarding. The horses and ponies are fantastic too, with horses that even compete at some of the biggest events around the country, a far cry from any other school I have visited in the South Wales area over the years. If lessons aren't your thing, Liege Manor have just started hacking groups that will see you taking in some of the very best of the Vale countryside. If you're a real enthusiast, then check out their horse and pony loan scheme and stable management classes. Watch out for their new state of the art viewing gallery and café area that will open soon! Ask to speak to the ever helpful Wendy for bookings and advice.

Finally my child got the plopped on a massive horse and it bucked!!! My poor angel fell off and broke her wrist!!! I would definitely recommend talygarn more as it's cheaper, better quality, nicer and bigger yard, lots of activities and overall a nicer place to be at.
