Have some free time in February and crucially a bit of money.Want a riding holiday and am divided between going to Durham to do some trail riding as there is a centre with a very good trail facility/course there OR REALLY being brave and learning to jump.I am an older lady (not prepared to say how old) and I have never really learned to jump.In my day you just hung on and to be honest it just frightened me but I think that teaching is much better now.I only plan to learn to pop a small jump from canter confidently, not give John Whitaker a hard time.Any sugestions for a suitable centre, midlands or north I think.Anyone tried Summerhouse equestrian that Your Horse seems to use?

I learnt to ride as an 'older' lady at Summerhouse. Had a weekly group lesson and a weekly private one. The instructors were lovely and took things at my pace. I haven't been there for about 9 years but they are very local to me and still seem to get good reviews!

Hullo OP would you please inform us the name of the favoured Durham trail riding facility ?

Scottish equestrian hotel in Lanark is my suggestion. I've ridden there once and hoping to book a long weekend there at some point this year.

I did my stage 2 here about 3 years ago and it was awful, horrible horses and manager. Very pretty though!
