Sandwell Valley Riding Centre

Lily has had around 8 lessons and we are so pleased with progress.Charlotte and Nikki are her favourite instructors, both are extremely knowledgeable but able to teach in a way that a 7 year old finds easy to follow, making lessons educational but at the same time really fun. Lily never stops smiling.Great place to learn to ride. Very encouraging and able to tailor to how you child learns and at their place.Fantastic price for 1 to 1 tuition.

Staff members are very lovely very helpful and very supportive to new riders great experience and will definitely be going back and taking more lessons in the new year

It was very nice I went there since I was six. I loved it there my dad said I can volenteer when I'm 10 I'm turning 10 at the 1 November 2023 I'm having my b-day party at sandwell valley riding center. It is amazing I recommend you going there, the staff are amazing, I tell you what it is hard to get the correct halmate, anyway.... It is grate there, I hope you have fun there.Xxx.

This is a really nice riding school. It is in a really nice location and the instructors are professional in their delivery of the lessons they provide. After your first lesson you not only feel hooked, but also feel a connection with the elegant horses too. You come away with a really memorable experience.

It is good! I had lessons here and they teach you how to walk and do rising trot, but no more than that. The staff are kind and so are the people there! Parking is difficult on weekends, but I think it’s great if you want to go for fun, but don’t recommend it if you want to try serious riding.

Have been calling for weeks at different times of the day but no-one has called back. I've left voicemessages and nothing. Ended up booking with a different riding school. Disappointing.

Had a bad experience with my girls at the riding school.. went for the first time with a group of other mums and i could feel the atmosphere was a bit off.. lady in the office was nice.. there was no hi hello just told the kids to get on the horses.. the horse handlers did not even make an effort to talk to the children or us parents at all.. i made an effort to talk to a lady named Penny and once i started talking she eased up a bit and seemed nice and had a chat with her but apart from that they all seemed like they just couldnt be bothered..there was total silence at the half an hour riding session and then silence again for the grooming session..i dont know if it was because we were muslims all wearing hijabs? Cant pinpoint it.. but this was the first time ive ever experienced this behaviour from clubs ive actually paid for.. it wasnt even free, we paid for the children to have a nice experience..very unproffesional..its a shame because this place was quiet close to alot of us mums especially homeschooling mums..but its better to go a bit further out and pay a bit more for a better service and atleast a smile and hi hello..

My daughter is 5 and only had a few lessons here but her confidence and development has been amazing. She is normally supported by Emma who is fantastic and couldn't recommend highly enough. Everyone is always very friendly.

Absolutely amazing experience. My son (10) was quite nervous but they have been really patient and supportive with him and he loved it. Really confident by the end of the hour! Thank u, Sarah

My two children aged 7 & 5 loved their horse/pony lesson today. The trainer and her daughter were so good at their job and roles. They were really helpful, friendly and informative. They made us all feel welcome and had a laugh.The initial greeting in the office was cold and disappointing as we had never been before. We were just advised to get a helmet for the children and the receptionist didn’t come to help or leave her seat behind the desk. This to me was very unprofessional and unwelcoming. We had to then ask for help with the helmets and we felt a little left to our own devices. As I am an outgoing person I openly said “we’ve never been here before so what do we do?!” However someone with a more shy nature would have a miserable experience. I hope that this can be taken on board and rectified. Thank you to the two members of staff that made the experience good in the end. Anna, Max, Rosa & Eden ( the cheeky 5 year old) XX
