Hi I am going on holiday last week of sept/first oct to west bay, bridport. I am desperate to go out for a hack and wondered if anyone had any recommendations for centres, I have tried googling but not much has come up.

I'm looking for anything, although I have ridden for years and consider myself a competent rider - walk trot canter gallop buti Haven't ridden for more than 6 months so would be just as happy plodding along.

Thanks in advance

Bumping this one up for you again OP!

Anyone.........???

I drive through the area quite regularly and apparently there is a place somewhere near Charmouth, on one of the hills back from the town??? Anyone know?

Also there looks like there's a lot of horses in a field where the road bends around near the Golf Course at Burton Bradstock, near the holiday camp??? Dunno what that's like??

Anyone????

Oooohhh....... mmm, so mebbe its a summer outfit then. Wished I lived nearer coz I've got a spare horse and you could have come out with me midweek; but I live "over the border" so not really viable.

PS meant to add that I was browsing looking for something else and there IS apparently a place near Lulworth, which is basically along the coast to the east....... google "Lulworth riding centre" and it might just come up. Dunno what its like though.

It is usually a summer thing they used to loan the horses out over the winter it was run by a thrid party but the costs have got too high so they've packed it in :-( will try the other place

This was discussed a few weeks ago, at the end of July. Dodpen stables seemed to be the best. Their contact details are on that Bridport thread. Lulworth is lovely but a good 50 mins drive away, as it's almost at Wareham.
Have fun.
