Fantastic experience as an adult learning to ride with private lessons. Maddie is just wonderful, a great teacher. The horses are beautiful and so well mannered and patient with learners like me. Three lessons in and I can't stop smiling - given that I just turned fifty this is a wonderful thing. Thanks so much!

Such a shame this business is run so unprofessionally as it has real potential to be a great little riding school. Maddie and Gabbie were lovely teachers but the office & management staff are rude, unprofessional and have no regard for their students, all they seem to care about is getting your money and there is no interest in your child's progress, concerns or wellbeing. Certainly not a great way to run a business its a real shame.
This was definitely not the safest place that I have ridden at. When I went there for a few lessons I had already had some experience riding (about a year and a bit). The horses seemed lethargic (overworked) and didn't respond well. At times the lesson wasn't supervised properly. On one of the lessons I participated in my riding group witnessed a girl getting brutally bucked off a horse (I believe it was her own horse, not a school one) which ending up her falling and breaking her arm. From her screaming and her horse being agitated and scared the other groups horses also became a little agitated as a natural response. However, despite this being apparent the surrounding lessons continued despite many members of my group including myself asking to pause the lesson to calm our horses and debrief of what we just saw until the matter was sorted out. When I asked for help to stop the horse I was riding from spooking at a certain corner in the indoor arena and pig rooting whenever I asked for the horse to walk forward I was ignored. A few of my friends who didn't have any prior experience also went here for a 3 day clinic and ended up leaving after the first day because how stressful they found it as they were not taught the basics of horse handling safety and riding (they were asked to canter by themselves after just 30 mins of being on a horse for the first time). This place has potential, and the pricing is fairer than some other places however they need to get better at training their instructors to supervise the lessons properly and safely.
It amazing but just wish the prices would be a little lower to do a lesson it's 40 But the horses are lovely
Saddle on offers training qualifications and successfully granted me my certificate III in sports coaching. i was able to complete the certificate with flexible training hours and in a constructive classroom atmosphere. Would definitely recommend anyone interested in working within the equine industry to gain their qualifications through Saddle On, good stuff!!! :)
saddle on is a lovely place, staff are super friendly and always willing to help. animals are really placid and lovely to be around.
You guys are absolutely amazing, although I can't do horse riding because of the prices. Great horses, great staff and adorable farm animals \u003c3
Saddle On is the best place to host a kids party. My 10yr old daughter and her friends loved every mintue of it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Place was clean. Staff named Georgia, was friendly and made the kids feel comfortable. :)
