Darlington Stables, Cheshire Review

I found the stables to be very disorganised, and it was mainly being run by small children about 10 years old. The lessons were over booked and my daughter was placed on a beginners lesson with 12 other children, and there was only 3 small girls leading the ponies. The horses were over worked and looked fed up, lazy and grumpy. The instructor was kind but didnt teach, and most of the time my daughter was just walking round the middle whilst they tried to make the pony trot. The lesson was very cheap but i wouldn't really call it a lesson, more of a walk about. The yard was messy and the same small children were expected to do the mucking out. There was no staff except the instructor and the previous lesson and followng lesson were also overbooked and the same horses were being used. I wouldnt reccomend the stables to anyone as it didnt provide instruction and didnt seem like a god place for the horses to work. The only positive is that there is a indoor school.
