    Avoid at all costs! I went for a lesson at St Leonard's for the first time today and couldn't believe what I experienced. There were 23 other riders in the group and in the entire hour long lesson I rode my horse for approximately 5 minutes, the rest of the time I was waiting in the queue. The instructor's teaching methods left a lot to be desired! She bellowed instructions at the young members of staff and became exasperated and shouted at staff and riders when these were not followed. The young members of staff were using foul language in front of 4 year old children. I am surprised the parents standing watching did not complain. I will definitely not be returning here! I had to rank this as 1 star as there was not an option to give no stars. Save your money and look elsewhere.

    St Leonards Toton staff very rude here,one in particular.the horses are either like donkeys so you cant advance or need more schooling and unruley,crammed in the lesson with liverys and spent most of the time stood still waiting whilst individuals went round the track,99 percent whom were liverys.big thumbs down,found an excellent place to go now.

    Overall St Leonards Toton is an O.K place, the liveries are dealt with well but most of the riding school horses are cared for well. Most are kept in a barn all together. I did learn to ride her and the horses are good, but they no no better

    Riding round in a track, nose to tail with about 15 other horses, is by no means learning to ride.I have seen better oganisation at the zoo than St Leonards Toton!Horses are like riding machines, no quirks!! No focus on individual riders, more focus on liveries.

    St Leonards Toton is VERY good, I have only been there about 1 year and I am soon to do Competitions. It is pretty cheap and the staff and Horses/Ponies are nice! In some lessons the liveries go in the lessons and it is kinda annoying as the other people who are learning don't learn as much as they should do. Apart from that it is a nice place!
    Very good and friendly place to go. I recommend anyone who likes horses to go there.

    I think St Leonards Toton, Nottingham, is the best place to ride at in the universe and the stafd don't shout, They haven't even shouted once and plus if the lesson is crammed its not there fault the people from the littlie track had to join because it was raining or snowing and plus if you say I want a lesson next sunday and they say we can't its too crammed that wouldn't sound nice and plus people might turn there backs on s.l.r.s and I find the staff helpful funny cheerful happy and the hor ...

    Never learn to ride here! May be cheap but cheap isn't always the safest option!

    This is THE best place for learning to ride ive had three lessons and already im jumping and bearing in mind ide never ridden a horse in my entire life they really encourage YOU TO RIDE and made me feel so confident in the saddle. the staff are lovely the horses are really sweet. they like to give a variety of who you ride and yes most of the school horses live out but its how horses live in the wild and they all seem very happy and extremely healthy as for value for money i phoned about 20 ridi ...

    I am not going to lie St Leonards has got a few bad points but only a very little bad points i have rode there since i was able to and for learning there is no better place i have been all over the stables there and there is not one bit of cruelty i have seen and yes the instructors shout sometimes but i have seen people go from ok to amazing in that time i completely recommend it to everyone old young beginner or experienced

    Overall, I find the staff and horses compliment each other. The choice of horses is immense, each one having their own character! and yes, some riders get thrown off but this is part of learning how to ride a horse, the most important thing is to get back on immediately if possible. All horses should be treated with respect just like human beings. The class teachers are exceptional! Together, these teachers are second to none and I wouldn't take my 9 year old daughter anywhere else!!

    The staff have a very forward approach to riding - if you want to learn then they will bring you on. They will stretch you and instill confidence but never push you beyond your capabilities

    Twelve months ago I'd never sat on a horse. An hour a week at St Leonards has seen me galloping on beaches in the Lake District and cantering across moorland in Ireland - very satisfying for me and a testament to the staff and horses.

    I rode here for 2 and a half years (didn't know any better) and well...here goes:
    The school horses didn't have their own stalls, were tied up in mud all day then turned out. Often go lame, many put down. Some of the instructors just shout, shout, shout! I've gone home in tears many times and fallen off a LOT!
    They were cruel. Don't recommend going there. Ever. Unless it is to take pictures for a cruelty case. End of. Period.

    Rode there for 2 months, didn't learn much, waste of money, but will try somewhere else...any suggestions were to go would help, as new to the area.

    This is a very good stables and riding school. I've been riding there for over 4 years now and am very impressed. My previous yard was nothing like this. They look after their ponies well. They live out in humongous fields! They are well fed... Also most of the school ponies are up for sale (with exception of a few) which is good as it keeps fresh blood coming in the riding school which one ensures that the horses don't get bored and have the opportunity to go to a private home or kept their if ...
