Riding schools near Cirencester

[NinjaPony]

Looking for a decent riding school near Cirencester when I’m up there for a few days as my own pony is currently out of action. Not necessarily looking for a super wow dressage school master but I would like a lesson on a decently schooled horse with a view to helping keep my riding up to scratch! Any recommendations? Have heard mixed things about Talland/Summerhouse!

Talland is on the doorstep and the obvious choice

Many years ago now (probably around 12-13) I had lessons at Talland. I used to go in the evening though. It was a bit hit and miss- we used to get trainee instructors whose skill and enthusiasm varied and who changed fairly often, the horses varied a lot too. However the lessons were usually really quiet, often only 2 or 3 people (sometimes it was just me!) so there was a lot of individual attention. I had some lessons during the day there and always ended up rammed in the school with about 6 other lessons going on too leaving me on a 20m circl. I would say like any riding school just give it a go and see how you get on.

I used to ride a Talland (before they moved to their present location) and thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to pay the extra so i didnt get a trainee instructor (when i could afford it) and never had any issues with over stuffed schools or instructors. You can only try and if you dont like it, vote with your feet.

I ride regularly at Talland and can't recommend it highly enough.

Talland is the obvious choice (I don't know of any others in the area though)

Looks like Talland is worth a try then, I’ll give them a ring and see what they can offer! Thanks for the opinions
