Couldn’t get over my experiences from the couple of times I went to this riding school. Got told which horse I would be riding by a young girl who wasn’t dressed appropriately to teach (very short denim shorts and bra top). Horse got dragged out of a barn then saw the man who owns it smack one of the horses which put me off before I had even got on. I used to take lessons here when I was younger and it was a brilliant place- always tidy, friendly professional staff, horses looked after but don’t think I’ll come again after this experience it just wasn’t the place it once was .

Croft Riding Centre is a well established, quality riding school. I highly recommend it! I first learnt to ride at Croft (Many years ago) and most recently have returned for lessons. The teaching is excellent and the instructors are highly knowledgable, supportive and encouraging. Within the space of 4 weeks I have gained the confidence and ability as a novice rider to complete my first dressage test with my horse which is also learning along side me through the fantastic teaching and schooling at Croft Riding Centre. I am amazed with the progress my horse has made since having lessons at Croft and this makes me very happy to see him improving all the time! THANKYOU CROFT!

Croft is adorable, it's such a friendly, clean yard!! It was so quiet too! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and it's so well kept. We were able to tack our own horses up, which was really nice. It's obvious how you treat your horses really well judging from how clean they were (also they were healthy weights.) We had a lovely jumping lesson on our surprisingly forward horses, unlike other riding schools, you don't overwork your horses. Within the first minute I had fallen in love with the horse I was on!! I wish I had known how fabulous this place is, I would had visited much sooner!! It's reasonably priced and I got my money's worth!! Best riding facilities I've ever used, definitely coming back!! I seriously advise everyone to go here for riding lessons !!!

Me and my friend went to go visit and we were expecting a little quiet yard with not much going on. We were SO wrong!!! Croft ridding centre has the BEST riding facilities I've ever seen and the most kind, friendly and qualified instructors I've ever met. The horses themselves were unbelievable, they were a perfect match for me and my friend and within 10 mins we'd fallen in love with them. Our lesson started perfectly on time and finished on time as well with our horses tacked up and ready to go on arrival. Me and my friend have been to a reasonable amount of riding centres and we were literally blown away by croft. If you don't go your really missing out I'd HIGHLY reccomend to anyone whether it be your 1st lesson or your not confident or your just looking for a pleasure ride, croft riding centre is the best you will find around. Please please please don't be puy off by the last post just go check it out for yourself and decide because we did and we're already planning on going back next holiday break. 100% loved it, don't think about going, JUST GO!!!!!! You really won't regret it at cheap lesson prices too! I couldn't think of anything wrong with this yard expect its perfect!!!

My husband bought me 6 lessons for my 65th birthday! Hadn't ridden for 55 years but absolutely love it. The staff are amazing, supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable and fun-loving. What impresses me is that the horses are the top priority. They are loved and cared for and there is a real family atmosphere around the yard. I have learnt so much over the past 5 months and my fitness level has improved dramatically. Riding at Croft has changed my life! Thank you.

I have been riding at Croft for nearly 2 years now. In that time I have met new friends, teachers and horses but most of all, I have got so much better at my riding. I had been riding all my life but never learnt anything but since I started here I have learnt lots and I have even jumped a 3ft spread in just 2 years! I never want to move. Lynn is a great photographer too and is kind enough to take photos at special events and let us use them for free from the Croft Riding Centre facebook page which is very fun and runs monthly competitions which I won once. So next time you are thinking about moving or starting riding, take a look at the reviews and ring the person up at the office to come and book a lesson!!!!

I love croft riding centre so much! They are fantastic at teaching. They have so nice horses that you could ever think of!

Just wanted to say what fantastic Christmas events Croft have held for their clients! From first time dressage for the Ladies group to Christmas parties for both the pony club members and the Own a Pony Day on Christmas Eve - my daughter attended both and had a thoroughly good time! Then there was the Christmas show which was superb fun for all levels. Staff were working hard at all events and we were made very welcome as usual! Thank you Croft Riding Centre and all the best for 2014 - we will be with you all the way!

I have been to many riding schools in my life but I can honestly say its the best!! All the staff are friendly, so are all the horses and I couldn't ask for any more! Since riding at croft I have improved my riding and so have all my family therefore we will not be moving riding schools any time soon. Thank you to all the staff for teaching me, you have given me so much confidence.

This is a great place to ride. The Instructors are professional, knowledgeable and also very friendly. The horses are safe and well schooled, with lots of forward going horses and horses that can jump for the more adventurous. The facilities are good and the staff go to lots of trouble to run interesting days, events and activities. The lessons are varied and fun too. The staff work hard to make sure that you do things you enjoy and can go at your own pace, with the right amount of encouragement to develop and grow.

I part exchanged my horse at croft riding centre. They matched me up with a fantastic cob Barney. I am totally thankful to them as the horse i exchanged was to forward for me. Barney is bombproof as they said he would be and he has just won a 1st at our local show in the cob class. Thanks Croft for bringing me and Barney together he is perfect.

I can't speak highly enough of the patience, encouragement and knowledge displayed by the team of instructors at Croft Riding Centre. From being a very nervous beginner, they have taught me to walk, trot, canter and even pop over a small jump, allowing me to fulfil a childhood dream. At the other end of the spectrum, my once timid, tearful daughter has been transformed into a confident and accomplished young rider who now competes at British Dressage and British Eventing. We both still have lessons with these lovely ladies and as an added bonus these lessons can be held in the spacious indoor arena when the weather is inclement.

Had my third lesson this weekend at Croft Riding Centre and just like the other two was brilliant. I am a returning rider so need sensitive handling and the instructor gave me gentle exercises to improve my position and help get some confidence back. Have had both private and group lessons and both were great. I have booked my daughter in for a childrens lesson next week and she is so excited, having met the staff I am sure she will be safe, she is already asking me to hold her birthday party there! I might ask if I could hold mine there too!
