Saddington Riding School

Been here for around 2weeks now stabling my horse.Management are great and very helpful.The price and facilities are Fantastic, miles and miles of hacking to do!I’m also having lessons with Emma, as my horse needs some schooling work. She is wicked and has great knowledge and my horse is already showing a massive improvement in his schooling.The yard run loads of different events for the young kids, from Halloween party’s, pony days, show jumping days, own a pony for a day and loads more.

Disgusting behaviour from an Instructor and Staff. You don’t treat animals in that way and clearly it’s been done many times before as the horse knew it was coming. The response statement was just as bad as the video. Don’t take your kids there find somewhere else instead that is professional and caring and treats the horses with respect.

I had seen the reviews before I went but I also read their explanation and knowing animals, it felt perfectly reasonable. I did go in with my eyes open though and I have to say they were really good. I saw absolutely nothing that alarmed me. They knew the right horse for my ability and knew their horses personality. My teacher was really good and patient and fully explained everything. I will definitely be going back and would urge anyone not to just look at the negative reviews

As a qualified BHS AI, and having owned horses for over 35 years and worked in the industry for over 25, this establishment shouldn’t be allowed near a goldfish - much less any other animal after the leaked video of not only abuse, but incredibly dangerous behaviour that they not only find acceptable. But have excused! Avoid these guys. With any luck investigation will lead to closure for the health and safety for not only the horses in their car, but the safety of riders after the video shows they really don’t care about either!Edit to say that people that go there are approving of the abuse and condoning it clearly shows that this is regular occurrence, so much so that it is not only accepted as the norm, but taught that it is right. Frightening

I am equine student and are currently working on becoming a riding instructor, and this leaked video of very serious abuse and other dangerous behaviours is generally shocking and worrying. That behaviour should never be accepted like it is here, not only is it abuse but it's also a massive health and safety concern. I would advise that you do not go to this riding school for riding or anything for that matter as there is also a concern about how much it's considered as the norm but also shown as the right thing here in this stables. I am hoping that the RSPCA finds this place chargeable as this is diabolical to say the least.

My daughter has only been riding here a couple of weeks and I am so happy with her progress. The riding school ponies are kind natured and extremely safe giving her the confidence to really build on her passion for horses. Today, we both went on a lovely hack together, something we have never done before but we will definitely continue doing. Thanks to the instructors for making available such fun and parent/child friendly half term events.

Having just seen the most recent review I felt that I had to leave a more accurate review myself. Having used the riding school for a number of years I can honestly say that I have always had a brilliant experience and that the Owner of the riding school is nothing but patient, always put the animals first and has given my daughter the confidence that she lost from a previous riding experience elsewhere and has made riding enjoyable for her again. I would recommend the riding school to anyone that was looking to get back into or start riding and the 5* star license that is displayed on the walls around the riding school clearly speaks for itself!

Went for an hours hack for the fist time in 43 years. It was fantastic, I was a bit nervous to start but Sam was a brilliant horse. Lauren was a brilliant with me what a lovely young lady, very patient good to talk to. And what a lovely setting, shame about the rain. Would highly recommend saddington riding stables.

*** THIS IS A GENUINE REVIEW*** I highly recommend these stables. Having taken my daughter here for the last 2 years I can honestly say that Emma & Lauren run these stables to a very high standard. All the horses are well looked after and I have no problem in recommending this place to you. They are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming and I suggest you make a visit to the stables to see for yourself. The pics are my 4 year old daughter trotting and being looked after by the staff.
