riding in edinburgh?

[missleeder]

After a horrible 10year period without horses I really want to start riding again. Very limited money so can probably only afford one or 2 lessons a month but would like a fairly decent horse and instructor for this short time. I have no car either...Tower farm stables is the nearest to me but unfortunately only do individual lessons in the week, no good for me-I definitely want individual tuition and work during the week. Can anyone suggest any other options? Im desperate to ride again, and would consider many alternatives!
Any suggestions welcome
Jo

You could look at Lasswade. I'm not sure what they offer, but you should be able to get there on a bus.

Agree that Lasswade is your place.

I rode at Whiteloch Farm in Macmerry when I lived in Edinburgh - you can get a bus there from Edinburgh.

I'd try anywhere else before resorting to Lasswade or Tower

. I probably shouldn't say that, but never mind

Lasswade and Tower Farm are somewhat rubbish IMO. also, no buses fromLasswade after 7ish in the evening.

either Harelaw for hacking which you can get to on a train, or Whiteloch for lessons which is a bus journey.

most RS's in the area will only do individual lessons during the week these days. a really top notch place is Kingsbarn Equestrian near Falkirk-Ernest Dillons place. great instructors, facilities and schoolmasters. dunno about public transport but well worth the effort for a couple of rides a month.
