Will do. I'll definitely be going back as I do really enjoy their hacking and I have a 2 1/2 months commitment anyway. It is a good yard with a lovely community and horses shiny and happy. They have excellent events but they are more focused on leisure riding. I was just a bit taken aback by the...

The saddle tapping is just something I found worked with a cob I rode a some years ago. He was usually really good and in most cases just carrying the crop was enoug. But if he was feeling unresponsive I would keep my leg on then tap the saddle, more making an annoying noise, and he would...

That's fair. I've just started lessons in march this year and tried lessons in 3 other RSs but this was totally different. I've been on cheeky ponies in my other lessons and I totally admit that I am a big softie and perhaps a bit of a passanger, I'll take that. But what I struggle with, and...

That's a thought, I think I will. Thanks!

No, London. So hard to find good rides.

I think I will. I'm just worried if they share her opinion and then I've got 2 1/2 months of awkward rides or not show up and fork out £200pm for nothing. It's a very small yard and totally oversubscribed. Setting up the membership was actually a very long and tedious process but I still though...

Thanks! I have actually just purchased The Balanced Horse by Sylvia Loch so will be tucking into that, will deffinitely look into the others. I might try asking for a different horse or I might just stick with hacking an keep taking lessons at my old RS, they're good lessons but only have...

I'm sure some might say that I was XD. I just felt awful because I could feel the horse offer the transition but then drop it which leads me to believe that it was more my fault than his. I've only hacked out so working in an arena is very new to me and I find myself doing the stranges...

I plan to. Unfortunatley, the RS Run on a membership basis and I've only just joined. I did my research and have enjoyed the hacking and workshops but this was the first, and last, lesson I've had with them ( you could only have one lesson or hack before joining and I guess I chose wrong). The...

Hi all, I was a bit unsure about whether to post this or not but I've come away a little shaken from a riding lesson last weekend. I'm 26 and am returning to riding after years out and have been having lesson. I signed up to a RS because they had good hacking and good reviews. Last...

Thanks SallyBatty, I had seen that one but most of the people that knew it had been there quite a few years before that post so I'm just putting some feelers out to see if people have any recent experiences. It sounds like a sweet yard though with a nice school and hacking. I will ofcourse...

Hi all, I'm looking into loaning a mare stabled at Parkhouse Stables in Bexley, Kent. I know there are a few old threads that come up when googled but I was wondering if anyone had been there recently. The Owner prefers her to stay there and as it is only 30min away (which is gold for...

Yey! He looks like an absolute sweetie! Congratulations!
