Bought my amazing pony Dazzle from Alice in April this year at a great price, originally he came to me to sell but immediately fell in love. I've had nothing but success with him including winning at 90s, 100s and combined training these past couple of months. Alice was honest, incredibly supportive and likes to keep up with my success!

I found Alice when I was looking for a dressage trainer in the south west, I have really been struggling with contact and suppleness issues with my mare for many years. However after only a few lessons I could see a huge improvement, in both my horse and myself. My confidence as a rider has hugely increased with the time and support Alice and her team have given me. I have also sent my young horse to her for further schooling and had a great experience always being kept up to date with her progress and encouraged to come and ride her to ensure the success continued once she was home.

Facilities are superb and entire staff are very friendly and knowledgeable whilst being calm and professional at the same time. My horse settled in within 24 hours of arrival and has been so much happier and completely relaxed since being here despite having to have an operation and now on the rehab phase. Alice is amazing and the service by all is exceptional. 😍😍

Alice Peternell has done a brilliant job training my youngster 'Grace'. I keep her on full livery and she has 5* care. Grace has just started competing and has won her BD Prelim class in each of three outings, with scores of 70%. It's a great yard with lots going on. Alice can help anyone - whether you have a youngster who needs to start from scratch or a serious competitor in any field - dressage, eventing or someone who rides for fun. Alice runs clinics every Sunday in the indoor arena, so no need to worry about the weather. This yard has all the facilities you would want.
