Poynters Riding Centre

Poynters Riding Centre, is a lovely riding school that I highly recommend. John, our current instructor, is passionate and knowledgeable, making every lesson enjoyable and effective.

Overall, Poynters Riding Centre is an excellent value for money, with competitive pricing that allows us to come back each week without breaking the bank.

Julie our 6 year old's pony was no bigger than our dog :-) Misty was a lovely natured grey. The 25 minute or so ride through the woods and common was great for the girls and they did some trottin...
