Western riding in Wiltshire?

[Maddie Moo]

Can anyone recommend a place that offers western riding in Wiltshire?

I presume that hacking might be my only option as a western beginner but I’d like to have a go at some school exercises etc as well.

A quick Google has suggested Longhorn Western Riding School or South Western Rides - does anyone have any experience of these places or any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated ?

I have been to Longhorn several times but not recently. They asked for our riding experience on arrival, really sensible questions too, then gave me a lovely youngster and absolutely within my capabilities, put my less experience friend on something reliable . Fantastic hacking through the woods and being able to see lions in the distance

I went to south western last summer, was in the area cycling, some bits are definitely easier on a horse.

Lovely lady with lots of interesting knowledge- she used to do it with more horses years ago had a break and had recently restarted up again.

Thank you both ? I think I’ll contact both centres and see which one sounds like the best for me.
