“Aged 76 and not having ridden for 9 years due to a back injury but never having lost my love of riding, I approached taking up the reins again with some trepidation. However, I needn't have worried. Bailey was a perfect gentleman and my instructor had the patience of a saint. Once in the saddle, I was fine but mounting and dismounting presented a problem (and still does) and hopefully I will improve. Katie, my instructor, has a lot more confidence in me than I have. My visit to this establishment is the highlight of my week and she can't begin to believe how wonderful it feels to be on the back of a horse again. Come on, Golden Oldies - if I can do it, anyone can. Many thanks - Val Neil”
