A smile says a thousand words or so they say. My son didn't stop smiling from meeting lilly (the pony) to going to bed tonight ! Today was our first lesson and I haven't enough words to praise our instructor Sam enough. She was both calm and energetic, she encouraged my son and really dove deep into his imagination to not only teach but also make his lesson super magical and fun! As a child I grew up with a pony and loved nothing more then plodding along on adventures and Sam really helped bring Roman out of his shell and enjoy himself. We have booked our 2nd lesson already and cannot wait to return. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for lessons, especially for children as she seemed to really have the right level of authority and madness that children need (my son is 3) but I'd expect she would equally be as amazing instructing adults too. Thank you for such a positive experience 10/10 from us !

I have been having lessons for about two years at Sherwood RS. After trying several places I wouldn't go anywhere else. Sam is highly qualified, patient and makes lessons fun. Even more than that what I value most is that Sam really cares for the welfare of her ponies. You couldn't find a better place to learn or improve at every riding level.

Rupert 5 and Annabel 3 had two sets of fantastic experiences with Sam and Megan whilst on holiday. Even at these tender ages the experiences available were excellent and confidence boosting. The quality of interaction and teaching was second to none. A great way to open new doors for youngsters tied to town and city life.

Absolutely blown away by the great attitude and professionalism from the instructor. Very informative and knowledgeable (apologies, I'm not good with names). One very happy Granddaughter too. Thank you very much. Lillie will be back.
