Booked my wife and 2 girls (11 and 9) for a lesson at Star Stables having seen previous recommendations. I booked in advance to make sure they could definitely go. Kirsteen was very friendly and welcoming from the outset and clearly very passionate about horses. The girls loved the ride out around the local lanes and we will definitely be back next year. Thanks again.

We have just taken our 11 year old granddaughter for a riding lesson at Star Stables. From the minute we arrived we received a very warm welcome. The lesson was pitched perfectly for her ability and she was encouraged throughout. She had an amazing time. Thank you for making her feel so special.
Would recommend it to anybody in the area.

Should you book a ride at this stable, be prepared for late disappointment. We booked a 1 hour ride for 10.30 and at 09.50, after a short lived shower, we received a call cancelling the ride, as the horses were wet!!
It would appear that if the owner doesn't feel like riding then your day is spoiled.
We will never again use or recommend Star Stables.

Sorry I don’t keep up to date with the trip advisor page, however I don’t believe it would have been a small shower. And I certainly wouldn’t have said it’s “because the horses are wet” they get wet daily in the rain so that comment is simply not true. Light rain also is not an issue. The rain must have been heavy enough for the horses behaviour to be affected by it. Therefor trying to keep you or your family members safe by putting off the ride during heavy rain and heavy rain forecast would have been my priority. I’m sorry this spoilt your day however My intention here is to keep all riders and horses safe.

Visited Star Stables today with my 5 year old grand child. She had great fun, learnt lots and was involved in learning about horse care within a team, independently as well as with help in a safe and nurturing environment. She gained confidence and built on skills learnt previously. Always welcomed warmly by Kirsteen and Linda. Great value for money and highly recommended to any one of any age who enjoy being around horses.

My daughter has not long started horse riddling lesson here. Within the first few minutes of being around the great team of people who work here we knew we had found her an excellent riding school. They're a really warm,welcoming and friendly bunch. Both instructors are excellent and have made a real difference in my daughters confidence levels and ability. We're both delighted to of found this place :)

My daughter's (7 & 9) have been on many 'own a pony day's' and loved every single minute. The instructors are friendly, patient and skilled. They make the days fun but also give a rounded experience by teaching the kids all aspects of horse care. Some how Kirsteen & co even make mucking out fun!!
