★★★★★Featured review by Anthony R

Excellent level of teaching. My daughter has tried a number of places and this one is by far the best. The instructors get to know your skill and confidence level and put you on the right horses with the right responsibility and task levels. My daughter prefers this school to the 3 others she has tried in the area so we enjoy regular outings to it. Well worth considering.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for children aged 4 and up seeking structured riding lessons with instructors who adapt to individual confidence levels. Particularly strong for children who have tried other centres and not progressed — the horse-matching approach produces measurable results. The stable dogs roaming the yard add to the welcoming atmosphere.

“A marvellous stables. With welcoming staff and lovely ponies Tandridge exceeds in terms of prices as we all know horse riding is very expensive hobby. On the occasion of being bitten and bucked off I highly recommend the large beast that is Flint!”

“My 4 year old grandaughter had a riding lesson on Trigger. She throughly enjoyed it. The leader Sienna was very patient with her as she is a right chatterbox. The instructor was great with all the children in the lesson.”

“Emily enjoys it so much. The instructors are really great and I like the pack of dogs roaming the stables looking for a good petting too. Brandy is the best pony ever for a 6 year old beginner rider.”
