What visitors say
I use the indoor arena hire to take my horse to and she absolutely loves it. It is nice and quiet and basic with nothing to distract, has mirrors and is warm. There are a couple of facilities to pop some poles out. It is a nice laid back atmosphere with no judging and you are just left to it. We were also able to get some water in our bucket for after our sessions and toilets etc were easily accessible , can’t go wrong. The only Reason I’ve not given it 5 stars is because if you need something or have a question you cannot get hold of someone at all. Also, I understand it is RDA and the money is for a good cause but we literally could not attend a booking once due to the snow as it was absolutely unsafe (was not forecast and we booked 12hrs before) and we even text to say we couldn’t come but we weren’t offered a refund. If you’re going to book make sure you go.

I work in at Middleton Lodge Care Home, and we took 6 of our residents along for a Pony Tea this afternoon. The staff were so welcoming and took such good care of us throughout. The horses were so gentle and our residents loved the opportunity to groom them - put smiles on them all! THANK YOU. (the cake was delicious too!)

Be aware that if you wish to ride here you are required to book and pay for a month's worth of lessons in advance, they don't tell you this until you have ridden once. If for whatever reason you have to cancel a ride no refunds are given. For that reason I won't be back, complete waste of my time.
