Good places to get high quality riding lessons Kent - Don't own my own horse

[Sunny08]

Hi
I am due baby number 2 in a few weeks. when I fell pregnant I sold my lovely mare and decided I would take a 3-4 year break from owning a horse. This is my first break in 24 years! As well as a new baby I am starting a PhD in September so can't see owning another horse for some time. In the meantime I have decided, after having baby, I will take up riding lessons and focus on really working on my basics and confidence again.
I used to event and BSJA but what with having children etc I have spent the last 3 or 4 years happy hacking and my riding seems to have gone to pot. I have also lost a lot of confidence and not jumped in years.
I want to go somewhere where I can really develop my skills, working on both my jumping and dressage. Any recommendations?

Heard very good things about Braeside which is an adult focused riding stables (mainly dressage) near Dover

Never used them so can't comment personally

Hmm just looked at website and they look like they are focused more on children now, might not be suitable.

Bursted Manor near Canterbury. I rode there years ago, good horse of all levels and Pam was a fantastic instructor.
