Croft End Equestrian Centre

“Although I absolutely loved my lessons with Tayla and would happily return for her alone, I was made to feel genuinely awful by Hailey - in a way I’ve never experienced before. It felt almost targeted, to the point where even another parent asked if I was okay. It’s such a shame, because everyone else made me feel welcome, and the facilities are beautifully clean and modern. But I can’t justify returning if it means being demeaned in and out of the arena while simply trying to learn to ride. At the end of the day, the way people are treated matters, and this really left a lasting impression on me. Many thanks.”

“This is a truly first-class livery yard and riding school, staffed by exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate instructors who cater brilliantly to riders of all abilities. The care and welfare of the horses is clearly a top priority here. The horses are kept in spacious, immaculately maintained stables and have ample field space during turn out. The dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure each horse has all of its individual needs met and the horses enjoy plenty of rest and downtime. The facilities are equally impressive, featuring two large outdoor arenas and a spacious, well lit indoor arena complete with comfortable viewing seating. The entire yard has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts both riders and visitors at ease. The on-site café is a real highlight, offering a great selection of hot and cold food in a cozy setting with fantastic customer service. It’s not just for riders either, ramblers and passersby are made to feel just as welcome. The toilets are spotlessly clean and well-maintained, which is always a bonus. Overall, this is a top-notch facility that truly stands out for its professionalism, care, and community spirit. Highly recommended!”

“It takes a lot to run a good riding school and livery yard. The staff here have been incredibly good with myself, my husband and my little sister in law. I couldn't recommend it enough. We are all at wildly different riding levels, so we can say we have seen the full gamut of what they can do :) Adding to that, the stables are kept in fantastic and clean condition, the horses are given ample rest time and tons of love. Great place.”
