Wheathill is a very friendly riding school and I learned to
ride there and owe the school loads! There is a fantastic sized indoor arena
were all the riding lessons take place. The staff are very qualified and the
livery yard is run very well. There is an outdoor arena for the livery
owners and a cafe.
The horses are very well behaved and a great place to learn! the only down
points is its not the cleanest of yards but to my satafactory! Also the
progress is quite slow. It took me quite a while to go up a level. I was
walking and trotting on my own for about a year on the beginners lesson! I
give the school and livery a four as the yard could be alot cleaner and run
better (lesson progress I'm talking about) Also 'helping' out there what
i do isn't very run and organised properly. You need to work 9-5pm on a
weekend for 2 tokens and 5:30-8pm on a weekday for one token. You need 5
tokens in total for a free hour riding lesson! The reason its not run
properly is there is no real way of them putting your tokens down. The staff
just have to see you to put the tokens down and most of the time you earn
more tokens than they say you have!
Overall though i love riding and helping at wheathill and recommend to anyone.
