Place rating: 5 Letchworth Garden City, United Kingdom
Chibley Farm Equestrian Centre is an excellent place to learn to ride. It caters for both adults and children and is currently holding pony camp on its grounds. My husband and I were looking for somewhere to take horse riding lessons locally and we couldn’t be happier than we are with Chibley Farm. Trina Lewis’ yard is well kept and we were greeted by friendly staff. I used to own horses and have done a fair amount of jumping so I was looking for a centre which cateres just as well for adults as it does for children(most centres in my experience have many ponies but few suitable horses for adults who aren’t beginners). Saying that, it has been a long time since I have ridden and so I was also looking to build my confidence and start again with the basics. My husband has never ridden before and so we needed safe hoses to learn on and patient teachers. This is where Chibley Farm comes into its own. Trina is an excellent teacher and ambitious for her pupils my husband was cantering by week three and he is over the moon. The other teachers(Pippa and Sarah) are also excellent and are genuinely committed to improving your riding skills. If you are looking to learn to ride, and ride well, then I would highly recommend Chibley Farm Centre.
