The kids had an absolute blast and we can’t wait to come back again soon. 
All of the staff were very patient and kind and allowed us to spend a little more time with the horses after our session. 

I loved the ride on Bowser!He is so calm and adorable.I now have him as my wallpaper on my i pad.I can’t thank you enough and hopefully I’ll come back again .❤️

My two grandchildren had a wonderful time today at the riding school. The five year old was fearful but he was gently walked around and now wants to do it again. Thank you for being so patient with him.
The seven year old was given some good instructions and learned a lot. She is even more enthusiastic now. Well done Old Hemel Riding School.


Great experience some my 5 and 7 year old grand daughters. 
Very friendly and helpful lovely ponies a great lesson we will see you again.
Thank you

Amazing time today, everyone at the stables was very welcoming and helpful explaining everything. Such a great experience with the animals. 

When Ella had her pony experience she was a bit nervous but Grace reassured Ella, she was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend old town riding school 

We are about 8 lessons in for my 8 year old daughter, she rides every other week. Her Autism and ADHD mean she suffers to manage her emotions and her confidence is very low. I cannot explain how wonderful Lia is with her, literally the perfect approach. She pushes my daughter out of comfort zone but in the kindest way. She makes space for ‘waffle’ as she calls it, but a lot of learning takes place too. Lia has a gift with Neurodivergent people and I wish we could take her everywhere!

The boys really enjoyed the pony ride. The lady who led the rides was very attentive and made their experience amazing. Thank you and we will certainly come again. 

Really nice lesson and lovely friendly instructor (Lia) look forward to seeing you again soon  x

My son had an excellent time and want to return. 

Lovely riding school our teacher was brilliant very patient, horses are all beautiful I would 100% recommend 

Took my granddaughters who are 5 and 9 for their first riding experience and they had the best time, lovely people and gentle horses made their experience very special, thankyou 😊

My grandaughter and I ride every week with Lia & Grace. They make us feel so comfortable and for an older man like me that is very important! Lovely friendly stable and great quality teaching.

My daughter had a amazing first time on a pony she loved it so much and going again

We bought our granddaughter a pony ride for her fifth birthday, and as it was her first time riding a pony, we weren't sure what to expect. She absolutely loved it and said it was the best day ever.  The Staff were brilliant and made her feel totally relaxed.   It was excellent value for money, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special experience for their child.

Love my lesson with Lia. Can't wait to come back again. 

Amazing experience..very warm and peaceful..

Our daughter loved it  and the staff were amazing. 

First time riding in over 15 years, super friendly and encouraging staff really did settle the nerves and made it a super enjoyable experience. Beautiful horses too, will defo be booking again soon.  

Great first lesson and such great teaching in a really relaxed atmosphere 👍

We visited the Old Town Riding School for the first time and had a great experience. Staff were super friendly. My 2 children had a pony ride each. They were quite nervous but the staff were lovely and reassured them. They had a great time and we'll be visiting again soon. 

Had a great lesson today it’s  been a while 🤣 I was very well looked after not pushed to do more than I could manage. Can’t wait to book my next lesson 

Lovely instructor who was excellent with my 8 year old daughter

My 8yo had her first lesson today, following some equine therapy and a little birthday party in march that she has had here as she lives horses. She is neurodiverse and struggles with much in life, but oh my goodness she was so happy during her lesson! Lia had the perfect approach with her, and for a little girl who is normally so anxious, she just smiled the whole time! Next lesson already booked, thank you! 

Brilliant experience for my 5 year old and friends, staff were incredible 

Brilliant afternoon riding! Both the 5 & 9yo LOVED it. Thank you so much x 

the grandchildren  loved it and can't wait to come again . the girls were very friendly and helpful 

It was a lovely experience, the staff are so friendly, they’ve got a lovely ground. 
Me and my mum loved our private session

Excellent lesson, I have been struggling to find a school which does 1-1 lessons for larger riders. Had a great lesson and have already rebooked

Lovely little riding school. Perfect for a short ride for my 4 year old! 

My daughter had a pony party 4 years ago and it was brilliant! We then done a pony afternoon for my daughters. The staff are brilliant and make it fun filled for the kids. Would recommend 100%

My Grandson had a wonderful time Grace  gave Hadley a day to remember , we will be back thank you xx

What a lovely experience. Myself and my wife are complete novices. We were given nice calm horses, and one member of staff each. The staff members ensured that we had helmets, that we were comfortable and confident before teaching us new things. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt that we had learned things from our trainers. We hope to sign up for several more lessons going forwards 

Lia was great with Arthur, gave him pointers and showed him how to control the horse. He loved his experience and wants to come back again. I would recommend  it for children wanting to start horseriding 

Buddy had an amazing time horse riding. As it was his first time I was a little unsure if he would want to do it. But he loved every second of it. 

Staff are friendly and very understanding. Thank you! 

Evie had her 1st lesson today on Bullseye and absolutely loved it can’t wait for next week, friendly staff and very encouraging.

Very friendly and happy to answer any question, my daughter loved her first lesson, we have booked in a few more. 

I have booked my son in twice now for equine support and each time the girls have been really kind and patient with him, we’re continuing with our lessons as my little boy loves it so much thanks to all the team for being so accommodating 

My daughter had a wonderful first lesson, looking forward to the next one! Also a big fan of the cat.

Lovely day today spent with Bullseye at the pony morning. Grace was great and patient with Mary and we are planning on returning in the spring. Thanks so much! 

Was lovely to be back riding after a gap of many years.  My instructor was friendly and helpful.  All the team were lovely and I had a warm welcome on a damp and drizzly day. Thank you! 

My daughters get so excited about their horse riding lessons here. They’ve also learnt so much and the trainer is so patient and kind.

My four year old son who struggles sometimes with big feelings and paying attention attended an equine support session and it was one of the few times he was really engaged. It was wonderful to see him so focused; sensitive and loving. The staff were fantastic and really do cater for different personality types. Would strongly recommend these sessions. 

We had a joint mum and daughter ride today with Lia, Milo and Stella. It was great fun, Daughter had her first canter and mum was back in the saddle after 25+ years. Lia is a great instructor, really encouraging and full of praise. Thank you x

Great experience! Lia was a great instructor. Will be back again.

First time on a pony in 20 years. Loved it. Gorgeous ponies and super friendly and caring staff - thankyou Leah x

My daughter attended a pony afternoon for her birthday recently and had the best time ever! From start to finish everything was fantastic and she can't wait to come again. Thank you!!!

I had a very good time.Maybe even better than Gillians.

Thank you. My daughter love riding the horse here. Xx

Lovely experience had today. Excellent and friendly staff. Lovely ponies. My girls had the best time. Thank you.

We had a great time! I booked for my daughter to have her first riding experience along side her father and they both throughly enjoyed it. The horses were so gentle, and the handler was bubbly, lovely and great with my daughter. The experience was relaxed but professional. A really good afternoon!

I am returning to riding after 30 years and wanted some lessons to refresh my skills. Wow! I learnt more in my first lesson with Lia than I have ever learnt riding before. Lia was understanding that I would be a bit rusty and was very encouraging and boosted my confidence. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and Lia’s way of teaching. I left on a high having learnt so much. I feel like I am actually learning to ride now instead of just being a passenger. I can’t wait for my next lesson with Lia. 

Another great lesson with lia and bullseye. 
Maelie always feels like she’s learnt so much after. 

My grandchildren loved their first lesson and can't wait to do it again. They learnt quite a lot for their first time - the teacher was very good.

My daughter went to groom the pony and she loved it. We’ve booked again for her birthday! Thank you, Hazel was great with her! X

Birthday gift for my Grandaughter Ella. She was very anxious to begin with but Laura made her feel very comfortable. 
Excellent  ! 

I came here for equine therapy for my 7 year old son who has additional needs. Everyone I came across worked brilliantly with him and he wee enthusiastic and happy through the session. He groomed tacked up and rode as well as having a look at their chickens! Friendly staff and interact very well with neurodiverse and those with disabilities. 

Really good. Instructor was great and made us feel very at ease. We really enjoyed the session. Would definitely recommend. Very friendly and welcoming. 

Our 5 year old loved her pony ride and is desperate to come back again. Naomi was lovely and put her at ease straight away.  Peaceful calm environment. 

We have been coming for riding lessons for the past year and I can't praise the team enough. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter has made fantastic progress since she started, she has grown in confidence and it is nice to see how the riding instructors help her through every step and guide her to become even more confident. Can't recommend the Old Town Riding School enough! 

Highly recommend Mum, we had the unicorn experience the children had a great time ! the teachers made the experience even better such lovely ladies . Will definitely be returning :) 

My daughter had an amazing unicorn experience it really lighted up her day x

Molly had a lesson today. She is visiting from Ireland and it was a treat. She loved it!  Her instructor was amazing, very patient and gave good clear instructions. And now wants to find a school over in Ireland (or move here). 
So big thank yous!


I booked my daughters to do the 20 min session. They enjoyed it, I did ask for them to do a little trot on the form but they didn’t considering it costs more than double the amount a 10 min ride costs. Besides that they thoroughly enjoyed it, the instructor was friendly and attentive, will definitely be back soon.

It was an absolutely fabulous experience. Hazel, my instructor made me feel very comfortable at the lesson and guided me through it all. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Will be booking in more sessions. 
10/10 recommend. 

What a wonderful little riding school. Friendly staff, steady ponies and a welcoming relaxed vibe. My granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her leadrein  ride today and can’t wait to come back for a lesson.

My 4 year old daughter enjoyed her lesson so much today! Leah was fab with her, she engaged her so well and Evie loved her teaching style 
Lovely friendly yard with helpful staff 

Pleased grand daughter enjoyed every minute  and hope to come again. 

Hazel was so patient and reassuring.. as an adult riding for the first time, she made the lesson experience so comfortable. I can't wait to ride again. 

Grace was really fantastic at getting me back riding again and correcting my mistakes in a gentle way and explain the correct way to do things. A lovely return to riding after 10 years out of the saddle. 

Had a fantastic lesson with Hazel today, really encouraging, positive and jumped my highest jump yet. Can’t wait for my next one. 

Kids had a great time really enjoyable experience 

My 10 year old daughter really enjoyed her third lesson riding Stella - she had a permanent  smile on her face for the whole lesson where she learnt to trot confidently.   She’s very much looking forward to the next lesson.  

We have always had such a good experience here. We are never rushed and the team are always so friendly and happy to accommodate. The ponies are so well behaved and beautifully trained. Love coming here!

Great team, lovely horses.  My niece & I had a great pony afternoon 

Very good for the kids , the staff member grace was very helpful 

We brought our niece down and she had a lovely time - the team were so friendly 

What an amazing experience, I am a beginner and my mother hadn’t ridden in years and they were so lovely and supportive with teaching and the right level of help, grooming the horses first to get familiar with them, putting the saddle and the bridle on and then riding. 100% recommend 🙌

My daughter had a pony ride and loved every minute of it. Friendly welcoming staff and will definitely be back

My daughter throughly enjoyed the experience at the stables. She rode on Bullseye who was so gentle and calm. The staff were extremely attentive and the whole experience was incredible! We’ll definitely be returning and even looking at starting my daughter there on a weekly basis. Thanks for making Iris completely at ease and for a wonderful afternoon. 

My grandson really enjoyed his first-ever riding lesson which he said was far too short!  On Stella's back, she was made to stop, ride on, and patted sat the end to ensure she had done as well as the rider.  Old Town Riding School was both welcoming  and professional. I am sure Albert will want to repeat the experience in such a friendly atmosphere.

its great !! horses are sweet, instructors give great advice and are friendly !! 

My daughter had an amazing unicorn 🦄 experience  for her 4th birthday.  Lovely and friendly approach from the team and the beautiful pony. Definitely be back, as she absolutely loved it. Thanks for making her day special x

Brilliant first introduction to horse riding. My instructor was very patient with a nervous rider and helped me gain confidence. 

I took my 4-year-old cousin, who is obsessed with unicorns, to the "Unicorn Experience" at Old Town Riding School for her birthday, and she absolutely loved it! She had the chance to turn a horse into a unicorn by decorating it, and then she got to ride the unicorn she had decorated. She was so amazed and completely in love with the experience. The horse, and the lady who guided her through the process were both incredibly gentle and kind. I would definitely recommend this experience!
