Mother-daughter team Gaynor and Marnie Holt run structured lessons, pony taster days, and holiday livery. Small groups and unhurried sessions build rider confidence from first contact.

βœ“ Patient with nervous ridersβœ“ Well-cared-for poniesβœ“ Professional and friendlyβœ“ Great for childrenβœ“ Flexible booking

πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children who want genuine equestrian progression rather than a one-off tourist experience. The patient, unhurried approach makes it particularly well-suited to nervous first-timers. Children with their own ponies benefit from the livery and schooling offering.

β€œWonderful yard, great views and facilities. Owners are friendly, understanding, professional, dedicated, caring and encouraging. They allow the rider and horse partnership to evolve at the right pace in a healthy and nurturing environment. My daughter and her horse have made immense progress and I trust them completely.
