I volunteered there, and left after a few months because of the Poor care of the horses, lack of professionalism, the children left to run the place while the adults go out. When I asked about signing any h & s or insurance contracts or even disclaimers, I was fobbed off.

Appalling place. I don't know how it's still running tbh. So many people have complained about all sorts of things. Wouldn't recommend anyone to keep their horses here and definitely not have any riding lessons. Who would want to be taught by UNQUALIFIED people who I wouldn't even call 'instructors'. Terrible. If you want to run a business, atleast make sure you're running it properly and buck up your ideas.

Nasty? Some how I don't think that's the right term to use. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and so are you but this is what people think and you either have no idea about health and safety or horse welfare or sadly your mind has been poisoned and your one of her Army's of minions but thanks

What nasty person started this petition? The riding school is excellent and the horses are very well cared for. Caroline has loved horses all her life and would never do anything to endanger a horse or rider.

Can you please elaborate on the said poor care of the horses and ponies? Each and every time I have been to this establishment the care has been perfectly acceptable all the horses always have hay and if needed are fed hard feed with the stables mucked out twice daily!

This yard is terrible. The owner is awful. I took my daughter there for a lead rope class were I was greeted by children booking my daughter in and giving her the hiring of a extremely loose hat to then be told that a large girl with big blonde curls was teaching she couldn't of been older than 16 clearly unqualified and distracted by her friends making a racket in the corner of mess. There were 9 children in the class so for the expense it was for 45minutes it's outrageous! When a comment was made the 'instructor' made a comment about if I wasn't happy to book a more expensive private lesson! Terrible customer service run by kids!

This place has some very dangerous health and safety hazards everywhere around the yard. If you want to ensure that yours or your child's safety isn't in danger then Id highly recommend going to a different riding school:) almost every weekend there are customers complaining about the lack of effort that is put towards their child's learning and there is just no joy there at all.

I was on placement here for college with my friend, we only lasted around 2 hours there then we just left with out saying anything. The owners are horrible and speak to you like crap and be little you. And the horses were kept on pathetic little beds. All there bones sticking with only one hay net a day for 16hh horses!!!!. In some cases there was 2 horses to a tiny stable as they have to many horses to care for !!!!Worst of all the horses were badly Lame and that was very clear when they were trotting them up and down but they said they were fine to ride. Disgusting. This place is horrible and would recommend it to no one that place needs to be closed down and the horses taken away.

I've heard the rumors that it's gone down hill. I haven't been there since i lived there with my my grandparents , they owned it about 10 yrs ago. I'd be VERY interested to see the evidence when it's produced.

I have witnessed first hand that the horses aren't "bombproof" as they are bought cheap to bring on and sold for a higher cost than they are worth and are described untruthfully in ads! I remember going down and they asked me to ride a horse that no one would get on and I could see why, it's was to novice and needed ally of one to one bonding and being taught but they didn't have enough time so they sold it on.. The way the farm is run is terrible with unqualified staff. This yard needs inspection and a clear out for new qualified staff!

This place is nothing but a glorified dealers yard, they're playing a very clever but dangerous game. The horses never stick around because they buy them cheap, put them in lessons for a few months then sell them on at triple the price. Effectively their customers are paying to train downsides horses!! Add this to the unqualified staff and H+S breaches, it's about time this place was investigated.
