Sorry but I do know people are entitled to their own point of view but really. It is winter and horses do get muddy when out in fields. All horses at monach get 2 days out a week. Stables are cleaned out according to a Rota. You need to appreciate horses are kept in more so their stables won're be pristine. The lessons are taught by professionals and anyone who has teenagers knows they are not always happy and chirpy. Give monach a break horses are well cared for, people do come back time after time and I have always found it a friendly and caring establishment.

I agree with the above review. I read all the reviews here and some are very harsh. I was a complete beginner when I came to Monach Farms in the summer and was very nervous but excited about riding as I adore horses. I also care very much about their welfare. The school is not stuffy and snobby and they excel with nervous riders and beginners. They did have a few issues with young instructors but the owner is smart and experienced and recognized the problem and solved it. Every lesson I have had with the owner has been amazing, I learn so much each time. I completely disagree with some of the comments about her. I always hope she will teach the class, she has a great eye for detail and takes her time with each student. At the end of the class she always asks each person "what did you learn that was new today". You can tell she has years of experience. The horses are gentle and calm and the younger instructors now seem to really care for them and even thou some are young they are smart and help you learn. I have a busy work schedule and they have always been accommodating with times and lessons for me. It takes time to learn to ride properly and safety is important. I would recommend Monach farms for children and new adult riders in a heartbeat!
