Mr & Mrs Comrie originally worked with pigs at Houston. However as a result of the UK joining the common market with the good possibility of pig prices falling, as a result they decided to diversify. Having show jumped for over 20 years they decided to start a Riding School and become full time teachers.
By the end of the first week we had over 20 pupils and by mid December we bought 3 more ponies. We have extended and expanded from there and now have 54 equines (ponies & horses). We now teach every day of the week with a lighter work day on Thursdays. Houston is approved by the ABRS. We regularly teach clients from the Lothians, the Borders, Edinburgh, Glasgow & Lanarkshire.

100 % recommend. Have had a lesson with my partner today. He's a total beginner and i'm advanced, but haven't been riding for two years, plus a condition with vertigo. The lesson, the horses, the trainer, everything was wonderful and 100 % adjusted to our abilities. We had a great time, a very positive experience and hope to be back. Thank you :-)

I learned to ride there when I was 7... I am now 50 and have my own business as a horse minder & dog Behaviourist.. It was through the Comries that I developed my love for horses and ended up incorporating them in to my business.
I learned a lot as a youngster about these magnificent animals and I have Mr Comrie to thank for that , The Comrie children were always in the lessons learning the same as the clients and Mr Comrie treated everyone the same in fact I still keep in touch with his eldest daughter!
Nice family run business , If you want to learn or progress in horse riding this is the place
