Riding school recs for returning adult - North Kent

[hoovesoffthefloor]

Hello

After riding and competing from being a child through to early 20s and now being in my 30s having had a few years off aside from the odd holiday hack, I am desperate to start having lessons again. Probably just flatwork in the school and hacking initially, but I would like to jump again if all goes well!

I live near Bromley and have a car, but am a bit overwhelmed by the number of riding schools around so wondered if anyone had any recent views on:
- Chelsfield Equestrian Centre, Chelsfield
- Saddles Riding School, Bexley
- Mount Mascal, Bexley
- Downe Hall Stables, Downe
- Mayfield, Biggin Hill
- Greenacres, Biggin Hill
For an adult returning to riding?

Thank you for reading and any feedback you might have!

No useful comments on those as I don't know your area, but just thought I'd say welcome to the forum.
I went back to riding after a long break, and am really enjoying it.

This reply also 'bump' your post up, so the people who do know your area might spot it.

Thanks Teacups - think I just need to take the plunge, try some places and see where feels right!

Actually, perhaps just go and visit some to watch lessons there?
Have you done a search on here for each one? Might not throw up anything either.
I'm impressed by the number of riding schools within reach you have, though!

Chelsfield Riding School is good and very near Bromley. I also liked Udimore Riding Centre along the A25, past Sevenoaks, but it may be a little far for you.
