I almost got off and led him at one point. At the end of the ride the instructor never even said goodbye or thanks....

What a fabulous riding school. The lessons are the perfect mix of learning and fun. The ponies and horses are cared for and loved. Instructors are experienced and knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable whatever your level. Can't recommend highly enough.
