Hi all, currently looking for grass livery in the Effingham area. Basically anywhere between Leatherhead to near to Guildford way but no further, so east or west Horsley, or even Cobham way. I just can't afford part livery at the moment as we are moving house, and working long hours to help with...

Bookham - I paid £250 pm for 3 days sometimes 4 for a 16.1 cob. Quite expensive but seemed to be the going rate with other sharers at yards near by also. Hope that helps. She was an amazing horse! :)

Oh is it that bad?? Sorry only going by a couple of friends I know who say its great..... How about Kate Morrison Equestrian?

Hi all, just wanted opinions of anyone who has had lessons here. I am thinking of getting back into riding after about 4 months off with a view to having a lesson every other week. Anyone had private lessons there or can share experiences of horses and people. The last yard I rode at had...

How about Grest Bookham Equestrian? They have three schools, excellent turnout, fab hacking with no roadwork to polesdon lacey or Ranmore common. Know a few people there who love it :). Denbies is also in a fab location!!

Does anyone know anymore about Linda Cannon at White Lane Stables Guildford. I stopped my search for a while but I've been looking around online today and can't seem to find any real info on her apart from a phone number i tried to call but no ans. I wondered her prices etc? Cant believe how...

Thanks for that. Do they have many riding school horses as their website says small riding school? I want to go somewhere that i can progress and ride various horses as i progress more.

Hi all, I've done a post before about riding schools around the Leatherhead area but I am yet to have a lesson somewhere still :(. After 2 years of riding at a yard that wasn't very professional, and then buying a horse that didn't work out right - my confidence is now next to nothing! So I'm...

Thanks. I saw Wildwoods but its quite expensive and a bit far out. I had messaged lower farm but they had lots of restrictions on private lessons as in they mainly did them in the week when I would be at work. I have googled Linda, have read a lot of good reviews. Do you know if she has a website?

Hi All, I am having real trouble finding a yard that offers riding lessons around these areas. Most are just livery yards. I am looking to get my confidence back after riding for 2 years and then buying a horse who i have just sold who unfortunately has just knocked all my confidence out of me...

Thanks all!!! I will let you know how it goes. Its just the feeling of letting people down almost - even though i have a damn good reason as to why im going. Theres always that emotion there of getting worried, but once ive done it i feel fine!!! Silly really as we only live once!!!! I just...

Thanks all, well i am going to try to talk asap. Its really annoying as i mentioned it a few weeks ago thinking June is the last month i will be paying the amount i am, and either reduce to sharing a lot less or stop riding - which was when i got the horrid reaction from YO. I really don't want...

Thank you. Yes i agree face to face the thing is i spend the run up to doing it worrying myself and then when i speak i can never get everything out that i want to say. Past yr i have had a v.bad experience of buying a horse & lost a HUGE amount of money as did not work out so i am trying to...

I am currently in a situation where i need to save some money and the only option is to stop riding probably until the end of this year, which i am fine with as i know i will definitely start again, just things are occurring and i need that extra money! I really don't know how to tell the yard...
