My daughter has only just started riding here after two years at two different stables. We couldn't have been made more welcome. The instructors are excellent with no end of patience, helpers are very friendly and there is a large selection of beautiful horses. Slightly more expensive than elsewhere but well worth the extra. Would very highly recommend.

Barton End has over 50 horses for every rider. It is set in the country with amazing hacking facilities, aswell as a showjump field and cross country course.
