Our cross country course is suitable for all Jumping riders. The jumps range from 1ft to 2ft 9 inches over lightly undulating terrain, Including Steps and a Drop. Our course is available to book for riding lessons on our riding school horses or bring along your horse for a lesson with either Gillian BHSAI or Hayley BHSAI.
These clubs are for the pony mad! we have different activities or competitions and they are suitable for all levels of rider including beginners! You will get to interact with the ponies learning all about how to care for them, and you will get to feed them under supervision of our staff. Some days are themed with treasure hunts, treat making for ponies and lots of other pony activities.
Pony club is an excellent way for children to build up knowledge and understanding of horses and ponies along side of their riding lessons. All our pony club sessions are un mounted and are focused on learning about the care of the horse and pony. Members will work towards Pony Club achievement badges and progressive riding level care.
At Gillian's we cater for large or small parties, and we can even bring a pony to your house! If you have any special requirements please give our team a call at the office. We can even dress the ponies up with feathers in your colour theme and bring ponies to your house for pony rides! 15 mins riding and 15 mins pony grooming.

Lovely people, always friendly would definitely recommend......this is how I felt initially......The blonde lady there spoke to me extremely rudely, in a demeaning manor. I really did love it here, but now feel uncomfortable to return. I was expecting a call or some sort of apology, but I guess my custom didn't really matter. Such a shame and a disappointment that one person let the whole team down.

My daughter and I booked a lesson each, spoke at great length on the phone concerning our abilities and what we wanted to ride. We were told don't worry we have lots of horses! My daughter specifically asked for a forward 15hh-15.2 horse. On arrival the office staff were quite unfriendly, did not want to discuss what horses we wanted, and said it was already written down in the book. My daughter was given a pony! And was told don't worry she's a weight carrier, albeit she weighs 9.3 stone and is 5'7 in height. So she thought all right give it a try, the instructor gave her a whip to use, and said

Some reviews say it's run down and the conditions are poor, well there must have been a lot of renovation then! Brand new 60m indoor enclosure on sand, brand new stables. The school instructors are just fantastic. Having tried several schools in the area previously, I have found the two different instructors I've had at Gillian's have an excellent attention to detail, deal well with mixed age groups and mixed ability groups, thorough, positive, best place around.

I’ve discovered this amazing place more than 8 month ago and I fell in love. It’s a family run business and I actually feel like being part of a family. Very lovely people, very dedicated and passionate instructors. I have learned and progressed so much in a course of a few months, it’s amazing. I enjoy every minute when I am there and the staff is so helpful and patient. It’s definitely my place. And it’s great for hacks as well.

I was expecting to be more supportive for young children passionate of horses. The lady from reception exceeds with lack of empathy towards families and children, especially in these difficult times. I find her always having a grumpy attitude like she is doing me a favour for doing her job.
My daughter and I have been running 5 min late from pony ride following school run and she did not allowed to carry on our session. She did not allow to move this booking for a further available slot, already paid 25 £ in advance. My daughter had a broken heart as she looked forward in riding Harvey.
