Bridge Farm Riding School, Cambridgeshire

What an amazing place to learn to ride! I absolutely loved it, but if you are looking for a squeaky clean place or if you expect to arrive there and have your horse ready for you, not having to do anything else, this is not the place for you. When you get there you have to either watch or help tack up, you have to lead your horse around the arena and then get on. You will probably be with many other people, most of which won’t be in your age group, because there is a range of horses for every shape and size. After the ride, you will have to groom your horse and put it back in its stable. You learn how to take care of horses and you can even spend the day there! It’s an amazing experience for people who want to learn to ride and take care of horses, and don’t mind getting a little dirty and who aren’t scared of hard work. You will go home tired and pleased with everything you have accomplished today. You will leave the place as a better person than you were before. Definitely recommend!

Fun loving caring place with kind horses friendly helpers. Great for party's and lots of fun. Lots of learning all the time . Never been a bad experience for me.never wasted my time it is a brilliant place. Need to go more . Gets kids out of the house and very good in the summer to get kids out in the winter it is cold but going there is a warm hearted place. Nothing that I don't like about it

I advise you to go there a lot

My daughter has been riding here for two years and she has made great friends and gets plenty of exercise mucking out after the riding. Its a healthy day out starting at 9 or 10 am with a group horse ride down country lanes and then lessons in the indoor school ending with grooming and mucking out. These stables are not only home to 45 horses but also three cute donkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs.

Highly recomended for children wanting to connect with animals and the great outdoors, also experience teamwork in a friendly relaxed environment.

The riding school is a very busy and bustling place, with a large number of horses and ponies, so there is likely to be one suitable for you. However, at the weekends, there is limited scope for you to express a preference for the type of ride. For instance, you may end up doing the same hack for several weeks in a row, often with large numbers of riders on each ride. This has happened to me, when I would have preferred proper lessons in the school to get me going. Furthermore, the owner often accompanies the ride on horseback, so you are sometimes left without much supervision. Besides the owner, the riding school is primarily staffed by a bunch of kids, who are presumably the advanced/experienced and/or regular riders. This can make it a bit hard for adult customers to fit in. Having said that, the kids really seem to learn how to tack up, groom, and care for the horses etc., so it would be a good place to go to get some proper stable experience.

I would say Bridge Farm Riding School is more aimed at the younger generation. I am 29 and went for a look round about a year ago and felt like an old granny as everyone who rode there was young. Very relaxed atmosphere but a little too casual for my liking. Friendly staff and good selection of horses/ponies. I would recommend for children but not for adults.

a fantastic place to learn to ride, with friendly people, great teaching and lovely horses. Located in between a quiet village and the beautiful fens, there are many places to go out and hack with the other riders. A brand new indoor school makes it so much easier to learn to ride, with great facilities Bridge Farm Riding School is a brilliant place to ride.

It is a fantastic place to learn to ride as there are many different horses and ponies for. There is a place for everyone. The horses are very well looked after at BFRS. People spend a lot of time caring for them and they are all known extremely well. The lessons are very good value for money. The teaching there is fun but you are also made to work hard. It is a friendly place.

I really love the Bridge Farm riding School. I go there as much as I can.
