I can honestly say that Fordbank is a great place to go and ride and to learn about horses, thanks to the knowledge and friendliness of the staff and helpers there. I have ridden at various stables in the past and found this to be the one that I'm happy and comfortable at. It is well run and well managed, as far as I can see, and the children about the stables always seem to be well supervised. I have taken part in the adult own-a-pony days and they are always good fun and well organised. The staff split us into groups to learn about mucking out, grooming, cleaning tack, riding and various other aspects about owning a horse, and I have been down there when the children have taken part in similar days - they were well supervised, having an adult supervising each group of 3-4 children at any time. Anyone who rides there is put on a horse to suit their ability, there are so many lovely horses and ponies to suit, and safety is always the priority! I would highly recommend this riding school to anyone, old or young, as a fantastic place to go and ride!
