Riding lessons Dundee area

[sarahann1]

Happy new year all!

My new years resolution this year is to regain my confidence and start riding again. Both my horses are now retired and my confidence has nose dived with not riding, some folk at my livery yard are kind enough to let me have shots on their horses but I'd really like to be riding regularly again. Can anyone recommend anywhere in the Dundee area which is good at lessons for someone who, in theory can ride, but lacks confidence and will really bring them on? Before my confidence vanished I felt like my riding had gotten 'stuck' at one level and I'd really like to be doing much more.

Any recommendations greatfully recieved! Thanks.

Off the top of my head there is:

http://www.kinshaldy.com/

http://www.rowanlearidingschool.co.uk/

Although Kinshaldy is over at Tayport, its definately worth a visit. It offers amazing hacking through Tentsmuir forest and onto the beach, as well as lessons.

I do believe kinshaldy riding school is now closed.

Really? Thats so sad, I've been over in France for 2 years, I didn't know. What happened to Brian?

Yes, we have quite alot of his old customers. I think he is still there, just with a livery yard now and no school.

Thanks for that, glad he still has the yard, he's such a nice man. I used to park up in his yard and ride out to the beach from there. He was always really helpful.
