“Absolute rip off”

written by Neveragain119 on 15/03/2015

I went to matchmoor after I bought it for my partner for a Christmas present off groupon. I myself have my own horse but went along with my partner for moral support so he wasn't on his own and thought I could brush up on a few things were lessons were concerned. When we arrived, albeit 15 mins late we still had 15 mins of a lesson (of which I thought) and an hours hack. The horse got brought out for me which hadn't been brushed proper (basic stuff), still had mud stuck to his neck and ears. We got took to the "school" and I use the term very loosely! The kid who was giving me the lesson asked us to walk then change the rein. We did that the she asked me to trot round the school, well I could of done if the horse wasn't dodging the bog that covered a quarter of the school. That was it, lesson over!!! We then waited ages to be sent off for our hack, again I use this in the loosest term! Off we went down the road all one by one and one thing I know that you don't do with a horse on a hack is just turn them round and head back, funnily enough, every started to say how their horses had started to walk a lot quicker! All I can say is I definitely won't be going back and the place should be shut down as a riding school!! Do not go, they are just filling their pockets from groupon and not giving you what you've paid for!! It was a dump too. If you know anything about horses you'd turn around and go home.
