Groupon booking is a nightmare (I believe booking direct is much easier and more reliable, but obviously I had a groupon voucher), but the horses are amazing. Not your usual follow-my-leader trekking plots, all the horses I saw looked fit and healthy. Those I rode and were in my group on the two occasions I have been here had spirit and get-up-and-go but also amazing manners and willingness to listen to their riders. On one visit we rode down bridleways that are also used by runners to end up riding in the middle of a running club/race. The horses are all clearly well trained, they dealt with runners sneaking up behind them and then shouting or even worse reaching out to touch them without warning perfectly. I was amazed none of them bolted (in fact they were better than horses I have ridden elsewhere that also do RDA work and those horses are supposed to be bombproof). The staff on the yard are all friendly and I am told the horses do a max of 3hours work per day (which would explain their good energy levels and fitness). My only suggestion for improvement would be to add another level of trek in between the beginner and advanced, as I am sure there are many like me who are bored on the beginner trek (although I did enjoy the sceenery) because we can do more but worry on the advanced trek that we may hold others in the group back (although I was never made by the staff to feel that I was holding my group back).

Sunny July morning, friendly welcoming staff, lovely horses and a 90 minute trek along the fields around the picturesque scenery of high lane with views of Lyme park.

First time riding for me and my 2 kids aged 9 & 12 today. Hilarious start to the trip "waiting for horses" and wrong directions!!!! Ben put us all at ease and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lovely weather lovely group and well behaved horses. "Jake" "Rio" and "Ricky" thanks for a great family experience. We look forward to a return trip.

I went to Mill Farm for a 1.5/2-hour trek in June this year, which was booked through a group-on style voucher with niece. As relatively experienced rider, having ridden on and off for longer than I care to admit and owned my own for over 7-years I was looking forward to riding a different horse and hacking out with my niece. The initial greeting at the farm was a little disorganised and resulted in us starting nearly an hour late. We asked our ability level so we could choose an appropriate ride and assigned an appropriate horse. I was given a nice steady horse and my niece a lovely little reliable pony, my niece was anxious about doing the gallop and I have to Della who led our ride, was amazing! She gave my niece amazing confidence to gallop and even gave her the opportunity to do it again as she loved it so much - so thanks Della you helped make her day. Overall the experience was good, it wasn't fast and furious but the ground conditions weren't conducive to that kind of ride. I felt with the group on voucher it was definitely value for money and might have paid up to £25.00 - £30 no more though. But the end result of a very happy, confident niece who had a good time was achieved and for that I would highly recommend, thanks Mill Farm and Della in particular.

Mill farm is just wonderfull,all the horses are well looked after and well fed and groomed. i recently had riding lessons and also went on a trek and had a really good experience, the staff were lovely and i enjoyed every bit of my trek. we went out with 3 other people and they were all so kind, te made the experience even better. i would DEFINITELY recommend this riding school to anyone, who’s just learning or has done lots of riding i the past! Thank you for my experience here!

The staff were very friendly, Josh took us on our trek and made sure that everyone was okay, the horses are very well behaved and everyone seemed to have a lovely time.

Used my groupon voucher for hack on 14/10. Weather had been awful leading up to the day so many tracks were too wet to use and route had to be modified. Never the less still had good time and got in a couple of gallops. Rode Mailibu who was lovely and staff were very friendly

I am new to the area and looking for a riding school for my son. I am concerned at the vehemence of the responses to negative comments about this school as much as I am about the lack of response to negative comments about another school in the area.
