I was slightly gutted to hear that the riding school I grew up at and where my mum was a regular has just closed down due to the spiralling costs of insurance, business rates etc.

My mum is looking for an alternative place to ride and I might be interested in having a few lessons myself. Mum is not the most confident but is competent and sympathetic; I don't think riding 'cheeky' riding school horses will do her any good but I think she'd love schoolmaster-type lessons where she could learn some more advanced stuff and does have an interest in dressage in particular. I'd be interested in the same sort of thing.

I'd like to hear any reccomendations, good or bad. If you could give us a clue as to prices etc that would be great too. We are Canterbury area (north of actually) but might travel further for an occasional treat.

The only one I know of is Chilham Park which I think is a riding school with more experienced horses, my friend works and keeps her horse there and loves it

Chilham is a small livery yard not a riding school who run events.

Callum park is a riding school in the medway towns near me.

The other place that I compete at but it is also a riding school is ingleden park ner tenterden(quite a distance) but have always been really impressed with how friendly they are and they have clinics etc down there so it may be a possibility that your mum could hire a horse from them to take part in one of the clinics

Not sure how far you want to go but this yard is basically down the road from me and I travel to canterbury for college, its a lovely place, very friendly and very gd riding instructor.
indoor school and outside.
I've learnt more there in the past months, than I have in years!
