    my family and i have riden at glen jakes for about a year now and have recently found thier senior instructor to be very good ,informative,helpfull and has a depth of knowlage second to none, we have had ponies in the past so wanted a coach to re-start us and bring us upto date on new techniques and improve us,this they have done without making me or my children feel inadiquate or that we had to go back to the begining, i would recomend them to anyone wanting to learn to ride or update their ski ...

    went to Glen Jakes in 2007-2008 for about 6 months and was doin very basic stuff, didnt progress quickly and was given different instructors every time i went so i had to re go through everything again with the new instructor as to what i did the week before, and vice versa the week after and so forth! considering at the start we were fairly new we wasnt dealt with in an over friendly manner either. On one lesson which was booked in for 11am we were told to just sit and wait becaus ethe instruct ...

    My little girl started having lessons at glenn jakes after a bad experience somewhere else. Four of my friends children also got fed up and have followed me to glenn jakes. My daughter has lessons every saturday with a very dedicated instructor who is superb with the children. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds and has mastered the rising trot at just four years of age. She has joined the glenn jakes pony club which not only teachers her about caring for horses but also differing topics li ...

    in the last two months we have tried all the riding schools in stockport and found only one that seemed to want or were able to teach horse riding and no Glen Jakes was not the one! it was on checking the review centre after having a lesson here that was really bad, that we found the best we read the reviews and trusted them, thank you review centre and every one who takes the time to write their experiences.

    I would not recommend glen jakes riding school. Until recently i had been riding there for around 6 months. I have previous experience with horses and found most at this yard either extremely under or over weight! They are often overworked and very unresponsive in lessons, meaning the learning is limited!

    Apart from one instructor (who is normally fully booked) there are no qualified instructors, and most of them are just kids!

    The menage is boggy and unworkable and i often worry about horses ...

    Glen jakes is an awesome riding school, I have been riding there since I was 6 and I have never gotten bored there. The ponies and horses are all a varitey of breeds and personalities and they are cared and looked after well, some of the horses are slow and stuborn but this is because you have to learn to ride all the differnt types. The staff are all really friendly and the instructors are always very helpful, they offer lots of things to do in the holidays such as own your own pony, stable ma ...

    Glen Jakes Riding School is good. I went a few years ago and really liked it. The Stable management days were very enjoyable and most of the staff were friendly. Some of the ponies i rode were lazy but some were very enjoyable to ride.
    One thing that did put me off a it was the fact that the horses and ponies did not have their own stables so at the end of the lesson you just put you horse in whatever stable was empty. This was annoying as you had to walk around with your horse or pony to try an ...

    Glen Jakes is the BEST riding school I have ever been to!
    It is very cheap.
    I have been going there for a year and 2 months and i have learned a lot of stuff. The staff are very kind and the horses are good but and can be lazy.

    My children and I attended Glen Jakes on several occasions only to be taught by kids... The horses looked overworked and where knackered most of the time... Some of the girls where friendly but some where really snotty... One girls absolutely belted hell out of the horse I was on and only being a beginner it really scared me... We have all now changed to a different school and our riding has improved 10 fold.. We are all attending Stable Management and being entered into a show...

    Glen Jakes, Stockport is a good riding school. I was riding there for for years and it has taught me lots. However, to work there you have to pay for these courses (which cost a small fortune) and just as I was about to pass the final level, they extended the things I had to do by about five pages!!! So I quit and I am now woring at a different stables.

    Well i think glen jakes, stockport, is an absalutly amazing riding school and i would recomeend it to anyone who wants to send their child or there self to a safe relaxed riding school, and i know the horses can be lazy and that but you just need to get your leg on them and ride them right. Once you get into the higher levels you start riding the faster and harder ones so you can work a bit more on your persition and jumping and even if you get the slower more difficult ones you learn how to rid ...

    I love Glen jakes, i love the horses, and the staff are soo friendly. The staff will help you as much as possible, and at my old riding school i didn't have much confidence and we just did the same thing every week but at glen jakes you do lots of different things each week like :jumping, cantering, riding with out any stirrups and lots more....IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD, SAFE, FUN, RIDING SCHOOL TO SEND YOUR CHILD OR CHILDREN TO, SEND THEM TO GLEN JAKES RIDING SCHOOL THEY WILL LOVE IT.

    The best place ever trust me ive ridden at glenjakes for four years and never felt pushed to do anything i don't want to do.
    All the staff are friendly and helpful and are all qualified there's ponyclub on Monday and a field that advanced and intermediate riders can pop over small to decent sized jumps crosscountry style parties hackes for beginners and middlewood way hacks for advanced riders stable management to own your own pony dayes, all the horses are well cared for

    I have worked at glen Jakes for nearly a year now, everyone who comes seemes to enjoy themselves, i know i do!! Lots of activites going on. I've made loads of friends there too. Sweet natured Horses and ponies and friendly staff. Sometimes it's all a bit hectic getting on in such a small yard space and parking is a nightmare!!
