Evening.
I recently moved to the London/Middlesex area and by doing so have pretty much had to give up focussing on my riding. I am lucky in that my old boy has come down with me so I can potter about as and when but I really want to be trying to improve myself & am used to riding several times a week so missing it lots. I'm currently riding/helping at a sort of dealer/training yard but don't like the atmosphere up there so am keen to find an alternative if possible. Have tried asking through work & hrosey contacts down here as well as advertising to see if anyone knows of anyone wanting help with their horses in work for rides style or some-where suitable to ride but not having much luck!
So my train of thought has been to put the time and effort into having lessons on working on me (I'm used to riding problem/green horses so can't ride the next side of anything schooled and it means I've never really focussed on my riding more how the horse is going) and have some quality lessons.
Can anyone recommend me either a trainer who has horses I could use or a riding school within an hour and a half of West London (Brentford to be exact, so good links to A4/M4) (or find me some-one who wants a hand with their horse ;) )

Sorry, slightly long winded post!
Thanks.

I've heard very good reports about Shardeloes, a riding school near Amersham - closer to home is Littlebourne Equestrian Centre, who also hold regular shows which you can enter on riding school horses. Both have websites. There used to be a riding school called Goulds Green near Heathrow, no idea about it though! Happy hunting
 
Wellington www.wellington-riding.co.uk has some great instructors and lovely horses for the more advanced riders (I tend to sit and watch them rather than my daughter's lesson if we're in the large indoor, much more interesting!). I've also heard good reports of Berkshire Riding Centre www.brc.uk.com which is a bit nearer you, being at Winkfield not far from Windsor.
