Edinburgh Lasswade riding centre

[Biscuit]

A friend is thinking of going on a hack at Edinburgh Lasswade riding centre, does anyone have experience with them?

Yes its not really a good 1, there are far nicer places to go for a hack.

Are the horses there suitable for novice riders, when they go out on trot/canter hacks? My friend can walk/trot/canter but is novice.

I'm not sure i'm afraid is a few years since i was there.

I know the family that run the yard, and while I can't comment on the horses personally (I've not been on the yard, I know the family through BS) I know that they do hirelings for the common ridings in the Borders so would think they have to have a selection of suitable horses. I think they have a website and I know they have a Facebook page too if that helps any. Really nice people, good luck!

one of the girls on my old yard worked there and with some of the things she told us id avoid tbh

Wouldn't say it's the nicest yard i've ever seen, hired a pony from them for our riding of the marches a few years ago though and they do a lot of them so i would say they have a good few suitable for a novice.

my wee sister rides there every week but she only has lessons the horses range from horses for novices to ones with a bit more spice for the more experianced rider i would recommend them however not sure what the hackign is like

I went on a few hacks with them while visiting a number of years ago and I was much more novicey then, but I went on some great two hour hacks (guided) and had a wonderful time. I rode a mare called Honey, don't know if she's still there.
