I have been around horses for 10 years and been to a few different riding schools, now after buying my own land and horses, i mainly backed them myself and just hacked in the local area.
A few weeks ago i went back to the whole riding school experience, which i found to be really toxic, My skills have definitely gone Pete Tong and wanted more confidence in keeping my bum in the saddle. However i found the instructor almost wanted me to fall of the horse so i don't go back there, after reading the reviews i now see how rude and toxic they are at this establishment which is such a shame that people aren't doing better to make the equestrian world more welcoming. What's with this rudeness with some of these young girls?
The only decent school i went to was in South Brent, but my fantastic instructor moved to Cornwall, which is way too far for me to travel just for lessons.

There must be some decent riding schools in Devon. What is the riding like? We think of the moorland, but is there a good network of bridlepaths?

Are you still based near South Brent? If so I am very, very local and can send you some recommendations

Welcome to the forum. I am a long way outside your area, so no help there, but hope you enjoy reading/participating, and look forward to hearing more about you and your horses : )
