It is a nice place...if you go on the internet you can see the facilities and stuff. I know a few people who have done exams there (i havnt). It is quite old fashioned i think in the way the owners teach, i used to ride a horse for a lady who is very good friends with the owners.
They have some nice horses. Not sure what else you want to know really.

Nice place, good horses and friendly staff in general.
One thing I would say is if you haven't been there before DEFINATELY do a dry run to find it before your exam - EVEN IF YOU HAVE SAT NAV!!! It is not the easiest place to find despite them trying to signpost it as clearly as possible. It is common for the signs to be overgrown or have been turned so you can't see them. Sat Nav drops you 'seemingly' in the middle of nowhere. You're actually not far from the yard but if you don't know where to go it isn't obvious.
Which exam are you taking? It would definately be a centre I would recommend!

I did my training there, but not exams. It's lovely place a real mix of horses, some very nice as well as your normal RS types. What level are you taking?

Brill place, everyone is lovely, agree with ruth83 it's a hard place to find. Tim one of the owners is fab, he know's just what to say to get your head back into the game. If I had the room most of the horse's there would be with me 
Good luck on your exam.

Haha, Tim only has to sigh as I ride past and I snap back to attention! 
Can't speak highly enough about Tim and Rob and the whole set up really.

Basically echo everything that has been said, not done an exam there but did some stage 4 training on their horses and took my own their for lessons on a regular basis.... really like the way they teach and the way their horses go - having been to other exam centres were I was encouraged to saw and pull on heads ...!
Agree with the above - instructors are friendly in professional sense but you would never say "no" to them - very effective when being pushed a bit further in your riding!!

Definately scary!!! I'm working towards that at the moment (did the SM back in October). Any feedback or tips you can point my way would be greatly appreciated!! Have you done the SM yet? PM if you prefer.
