We went cantering through the woods and I had a wonderful time. Then he gave me a lift back to the train. · via Google [julie zalinski](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106462961081978794189/reviews) ★★★★★ Myself and my daughter booked for a Two hour hack on Sat 9th September 2021 and what a fantastic time we had. Upon arrival, we were met by really friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The route we were taken on involved a little road work but then we were out in the open and galloping in the adjoining fields. The horses were feisty and were really enjoying themselves which made it even more exhilarating. Fantastic day had 👍🏻😊 · via Google [F Fish](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110664168750029495349/reviews) ★★★★★ Went last minute and we had a great time. The grounds, facilities, and equipment are excellent. Jessica took my daughter on a walk in the woods on a lovely pony called Poppy. Great fun and will come again. · via Google [Anna Hepworth](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101983023693314817297/reviews) ★★★★★ We've always been very pleased with our riding lessons here, Anna is very patient and a great teacher. You do have to hang about sometimes for things to be ready but you always get your full time in the school and it's well worth it. Horses are good - some are very wide and uncomfortable to sit on for a beginner for an hour. However You can choose (I think ) what pony you want when you get to know them. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487690d344ca4335:0x2def51a3ac7c8f82!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Lovegrove's Lane, Reading, Checkendon, Reading, RG8 0NE [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.5465953%2C-1.0434577) **Category** Horse Riding **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (38 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Destination** Checkendon [More attractions in Checkendon](https://staycation.co.uk/checkendon/attractions) ★ 4.7 (38 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.checkendonequestrian.co.uk?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01491 680225](tel:01491680225) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Checkendon **Postcode** RG8 0NE **Payment** Contactless **Plus Code** 9C3WGXW4+JJ [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487690d344ca4335:0x2def51a3ac7c8f82!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487690d344ca4335:0x2def51a3ac7c8f82!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487690d344ca4335:0x2def51a3ac7c8f82!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Checkendon Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
