East Sussex - Riding schools?

[MuesliMoo]

Hi am new here!

I'm moving down to Eastbourne in about a month to start a masters in physiotherapy and will be having to give up my 6 year part loan

. Although I don't think I'm going to have enough time to find another part loan/share, I'd really like to keep riding, so was wondering if anyone could reccomend any good riding schools? I've got a car so can travel, preferably within 30 minutes of Eastbourne.

Thanks!

There are a fair few stables in the Polegate / Hailsham area which is about 5 miles outside Eastbourne...

Try:

Hylands Farm (www.gemmatattersall.com)
Meadowbank Equestrian Centre (www.meadowbankec.co.uk)
Winton Street Farm Stables
Whydown Equestrian Centre in Bexhill

I live just outside of eastbourne - polegate - and may have a horse you can ride

Currently waiting on current person to decide of she wants him on part loan / share. I'll keep you updated. Can you PM me with your experience etc etc.

Hi. I'm a physio living in eastbourne.
I share a horse at the moment. If your course allows you the time i'm sure you will find a horse to share. Where are you working at the moment? Lotty.

You could try Ditchling Common Stud, they have a website and I had lessons there last year and try to get down for lessons now, its bhs approved and the facilities are quite good. I guess its about 30 mins from Eastbourne, I got there from Brighton in 20 mins.

Winton Street has sold and no horses are there any more.

Thanks everyone, will look into all those mentioned! Can't wait to move down now, the area looks so pretty looking forward to exploring it all!

Ditchling common stud does have impressive facilities, lovely facilities but pretty bad hacking, don't think they even offer hacking!
