Quarry Farm

“Wow! I had the most amazing time at Quarry Farm riding school yesterday! As a complete novice who’s only prior interaction with a horse was at a petting zoo as a child or through tapping X on my games console in red dead redemption to try and calm one down, I was a little nervous. I had never ridden before, but that was not an issue as the staff at Quarry Farm could not do enough to help teach me and reassure me. The session starts with a friendly atmosphere where you get to say hello to horses in the stables before you get kitted up with all your safety equipment. You are shown to your horse by the stable hands and instructor who helps you to get your leg over. Then without knowing it, you are up really high and sitting on a horse! After a slight adjustment of my stirrups and a quick fiddle of my girth, I was ready to go. The staff lead us out slowly to the amazing facilities that include a fully equipped training area (with it’s own mirror!) My instructor Jemma took me through all the basics of how to hold the reins, start, stop and turn and before long I was bouncing up and down while trotting along. The horses were good as gold but at the same time bursting with personality. My horse Luna was a cheeky one who always wanted to move around to see what was going on, but listened to my commands without fail. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Quarry Farm riding school and recommend them for all your horsey needs! and if you ask really nicely the staff there will happily make you feel like a pretty little unicorn.”

“Absolutely love this yard, cannot recommend enough!! I’ve had many lessons at Quarry Farm & the instructors are excellent. They push you to do the best you possibly can in a professional & friendly way! The horses are extremely well cared for & cater for riders of all abilities. All the staff are polite & welcoming & are always willing to help. Love this place!”

“My daughter has been with them for a number of years learning all about care of horses and yard management plus of course learning to ride. The staff and management are excellent and she simply loves the place. Would highly recommend it to anyone ranging from novice upwards.”

“Amazing riding school! Staff are professional and friendly and the horses are lovely and well cared for. I always look forward to my lessons with Jemma, who is a brilliant instructor, always encourages me and is very patient and kind. Would definitely recommend!”
