In the picturesque Cotswold village of Stanton, a few miles from Broadway, Jill Carenza (formerly Gabb) has been offering riding, and Bed & Breakfast in her 17th century Cotswold stone house, The Vine, since 1975. The riding includes lessons, as well as splendid hacks, for all levels of rider: with over 50 well-schooled horses, Jill has the right horse for you.
There are also ponies for children. There is plenty to do besides riding: The Cotswold Way footpath runs right past The Vine; golfing is available nearby; and Bath, Cheltenham, Chipping Campden, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and Stow on the Wold are easily reached. The riding centre and Bed & Breakfast are open year-round.

I’ve been visiting Jills riding establishment for nearly 8 years and cannot recommend them highly enough. They offer fantastic tuition on the most wonderful horses in the most beautiful setting. They offer lessons for a wide range on disciplines and the instructors are friendly and very encouraging - my riding has improved massively and confidence has grown so much since I’ve been riding there and I travel regularly from London to get my riding fix. They have amazing hacking on their doorstep and I have enjoyed many fun rides and xc course hires on their incredibly reliable well schooled horses

I've started private lessons as an older adult and complete novice (week 2). I love it here, the horses are carefully matched to the riders ability and I've felt really safe during my lessons. Pace is sensible but I feel pushed in the right way. Lovely team and wonderful being surrounded by so many horses in the yard/stables

I’ve been back 3x in 1 week because I’ve been enjoying riding at Jill’s years that much. I’ve had a jumping lesson with Jill, a slow hack and XC training with Emily. The teaching is excellent, the horses are beautiful and well trained and the location is idyllic. Could not recommend to any horse lover enough, I can’t wait to go back!
