“some good some bad”
★★★★☆
written by 172Fuller on 19/03/2015
I have been going to ryders for 6 years and its truly a lovely place. It has wonderful facilities such as the indoor and outdoor arenas, the cross country field(for summer), the stables cafe ect. There are lots of reviews about how all the owners care about is money.i strongly disagree with this for many reasons. I used to go volentering as much as i possibly could,which all staff were happy for me to do so,and were extremly appreciative and treated me more like a collegue or a friend than a teen girl simply offering a hand.to show there appreciation, whenever there was a space, or somebody had not shown up they put me a group lesson for free! I could sometimes ride 3 times a week,just from free lessons! They are no longer allowed to do this, but they have introduced a leader card were you can earn 3 lessons.s also has a family,house,farm(including 2 floodlit arenas) and 30+ horses to look after and pay for. I know from doing it myself that all numnahs,saddles and bridles are washed frequently.the stables are mucked out atleast 3 times a day and all the horses are well looked after. All the staff are kind and welcoming(there is a significant age gap between me and some of the workers,which you wouldnt even notice) and work extremly hard to help all clients.the lessons are great with a maximum of 11 people,but its rare that you get more than 9.personally i think this is great because you also learn from other people.the instructors are all fully qualified and know what they are doing.i think the major downside to the farm is the livery.sf doesnt allow people that go to the riding school onto the livery unless they are loaning a horse,therefor you arent allowed to speak to any friends that have moved onto the livery unless they come onto the yard. Overall i think it is a very good riding school and i hope to get a job there in the future

I started at Ryders Farm Equestrian Centre on my second ever riding lesson, that was over 7 years ago and i have been there ever since.
The staff are really friendly and always ready to help you out. I helped out all weekend, every weekend for four years. This taught me so much about owning horses and looking after them. The fact that i proved i was committed to helping rain or shine, earned me respect and made me friendships that will never be lost.
Lessons are always good fun, you change horses most weeks, so that you can learn how to ride differently on different horses.
There's also competitions in the summer such as one day events and dressage for the more advanced riders.
If you want a place with a good reputation, good horses and good instructors, this is a good place to learn to ride.

The horses are a fabulous ride, and there are no completely problematic horses. There's always some one around to help you should you need it. Its a nice welcome atmosphere around the farm, and when you are experienced enough, you can even turn the horse you have ridden out, or untack it if it's not being used on another ride. It does not matter what instructor you have, the price does not change.

written by SAFE1 on 27/07/2007
Ryders farm is the best place to learn about horses and to ride horses. There is a shop to buy boots carrots etc and lots of horses. It is really fun and definitely worth going to if you are interested in horses and its not too pricey.

★★★★★
written by HorseLuver on 08/04/2006
The Ryders Farm staff are friendly as are the horses. You ride a different horse each week. You learn a lot. There are quite a few people on each lesson you can have private lessons. Quite expensive. They have a pony club for children they have own a pony day during holidays for people to look after a horse for a day and then do a jumping in the afternoon. Indoor and outdoor arenas
