I rode a horse called Penny and she was so calm. My instructor was really nice and when I stopped after my half an hour lessons I couldn't wait for another lesson it was that good!

My son had his first riding lesson this week and initially was scared and did not want to stay on the horse. Mark was fantastic with josh and encouraged him to stay on with support , he then didn’t want to get off! Thank you , josh will definitely be coming back

Put me off when one of the staff openly admitted that they fox hunt which is illegal and barbaric. Don't go here if you're an animal lover.

My daughter has been taking lessons at SEC for a couple of months now after attending another school for a couple of years. She’s improved dramatically in such a short time which is credit to the instructors. Friendly and a pleasure to visit

My 13 year old daughter has been a student at Seagold since she was 4. She now helps out at the stables as well as doing her regular rides and hacks. It's part of our family. I trust Mark and Scott and Anita implicitly with my daughter's care, it it the friendliest and safest place to become an excellent little rider. I cannot imagine a weekly routine where they wern't part of it.
