Larkrigg Riding School, Cumbria

Larkrigg Riding School is, first and foremost, the product of the people who run it: friendly, unpretentious and absolutely excellent teachers. The place itself is simply magnificent - a few minutes away from motorways, town and so on, and yet it seems set far away, in a dream landscape, with the River Kent behind the farm and green, sweet rolling hills as far as the eye can see. What more can one want?!...

Welcoming and clean. The riders enjoy the lessons and the horses and ponies are well cared for. The stables are set in the beautiful lake district country side.

larkrigg is great place to go just for a fun hack, lessons or help out, Good range of horses, lots of fun friendly staff,

Great value, super horses and great lessons. I really enjoy going to Larkrigg Riding School, I had many many great times.

Everyone is nice and talks to you, the ponies and horses are so nice the lessons are good with a very reasonable price plenty of fields and tracks to go on a hack. The vibe is great when you go, there is a variety of animals the like sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs and even chinchilla's and all of the animals are friendly. In lessons you do al sorts some times you go and ride on the cross country course, there are half days which are full of fun and a pony club, so if any one asked me where they should go and ride i would say larkrigg because it makes you feel at home!

Larkrigg Riding School Cumbria was not as good as I thought it would be.

They have lots of ponies and horses, the staff are friendly, you can tack up your own horses and they have a pony club. Unfortunately it is on a bumpy road and it is hard to find. Also, the lessons were quite boring.

Great atmosphere, both people and horses! Good value.

I go to Larkrigg every weekend to ride and help. Larkrigg is a very quiet and nice place they have a 38 horses and ponies to ride including a little chestnut shetland called Twinkle. The biggest horse is Poppy and the smallest Twinkle. If you have a horse and want somewhere to keep it Larkrigg will look after it and you can go and see it whenever you want (if they are not full of course). The only bad thing is the bumpy road which is better than what it was.

Larkrigg Riding School is a Lovely place, set in gorgeous countryside right next to the river Kent and 5mins drive from Kendal. Easy to find although the bumpy farm track in can be a bit hair raising! Friendly helpful staff who make you feel very welcome. Group or individual lessons available for ALL abilities they let you move at your own pace and prices are very reasonable, about 15 pounds for an hour group or for half an hour individual. Free use of their hats and some other equipment. Really fantastic horses and ponies and enough of them (about 40) to suit all age's sizes and abilities from 16.3hh heavy horses and thoroughbreds to miniature Shetlands. The outdoor school is huge and there's also a small cross country. This place is a pony club centre and offers the chance for all kids to join and compete using the schools horses. Really lovely place to ride or keep your own horse.
