We thoroughly enjoyed our pony racing visit to Hardwicke Lodge today. Everyone made us welcome and we were impressed by the commitment of the children. It was great to meet you all. The Scott Family
The staff were very friendly on my daughters first lesson. She Thoroughly enjoyed it!
My girls started their adventure in this school. Lovely teacher, lovely horses and lovely atmosphere really recommend. xx
My daughter learnt to ride with jean at HARDWICKE, she loved it and now has her own pony and still having lessons with Jean! Great riding school, very friendly and helpful but best of all great fun!! ☺️
My daughter has been having group lessons for a few years now and loves the riding school. I have also had some adult lessons as I wanted to be confident around horses. Jean is patient and very positive with you whatever age. We did try a few other riding schools before settling on Hardwicke Lodge but I didn't like the others and knew this place was right for us from the start.
My 10 year old daughter had her first riding lesson yesterday and carnt wait until she goes again staff were so friendly and kind and encouraging as she was nervous but was soon put at ease! Thankyou
Lovely riding school. I've had lessons with Jean and my little girl has just started having her first few lessons, it's a great place to learn to ride and Jean is brilliant at making sure the kids all have fun while learning safely. They have a really brilliant pony called Murphy.
Louisa loves her lessons with Jean. There is always variety and fun and I see Louisa progressing each lesson.
I’ve been having lessons here since 2011 and love it. Jean is so patient and always encourages you to do your best. Happy ponies and friendly environment to ride in!!
Inviting, professional , confidence giving tuition. Jean is an encouraging caring teacher who gives each pupil time to grow . Brilliant ponies, caring staff
Can't recommend enough. Excellent.
Imogen smiles from start to finish of each lesson, Jean and her team are brilliant at getting the kids engaged with the ponies and making each lesson so much fun. A very friendly welcome, I highly recommend this riding school
If you want your child to have a lot of fun whilst learning to ride then go to hardwicke lodge. Great instructor, Amazing facilities and lovely ponies. 🐎😊
Fantastic riding school highly recommended knowledgable flexible for all capabilities teacher Jean.
Fantastic place to learn to ride. The instructor and her leaders are just brilliant. My two daughters (4 and 6 years old) adore it. They've only had a few lessons so far and already they are trotting by themselves. Beautifully well kept horses too! Recommend it.
Excellent riding school and DIY Livery yard. Ran by a lovely family who I'm glad to know. Kept my horses there many years and only left to be nearer home x
Excellent place to learn to ride from diddys to grown ups. My daughter has been riding here since she was 2 (now 8) and gets to learn so much more than just how to ride a horse. Even have lessons myself from time to time and have a brilliant time.
Brilliant instructors who engage well with the children making it a fun lesson.
An entirely supportive, safe and fun environment for lessons and pony camp.
