Riding Schools in Winchester?

[Lurky McLurker]

Hi, long-time lurker here posting for the first time!

I'm going to be starting at Winchester University in a couple of weeks, and leaving my horse at home, which will be heartbreaking. I don't want to give up riding completely while I'm at uni, but I don't think I'll have the time or money to share a horse, so I'm planning to just have lessons whenever I can afford them (maybe once a fortnight/every three weeks). Can anyone recommend a good riding school in the Winchester area? So far my Googling has turned up a place called Tanglewood Equestrian Centre - doesn't look like it's BHS or ABRS approved, but the website looks quite encouraging and formal approval doth not a riding school make, so does anyone know if it's as good as the website makes out?

Obviously location-wise, the closer to the city centre the better for me, but I am prepared to make some arduous bus journeys to get to a really good riding school.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

This is probably your closest BHS approved riding school

Other ones close ish that are good are pinkmead and quob, but they are a bit further.

And slightly further afield you've got Wellington, Rycroft or Lavant House
