I would not recommend this riding school, I have owned and ridden horses for many years, I was mortified when I was told their weight limit was 11stone for an adult, both their website and instagram advises large and stocky horses which can carry 15 stone plus.

Great centre to teach kid to ride. Talented instructors, beautiful ponies, and convenient facilities - what else to ask for?

My daughter had an hour's groom and ride session today and absolutely loved it! The communication from the start from Lucy on the reception was amazing, right up to a reminder the night before. We had Lisa taking the lesson who was really calm, friendly and patient with my daughter, taking time to show her how to care for a pony before showing her how to tack up and get ready to ride, naming each piece of equipment as they went. She then had a good half hour ride both inside and then out in the field and even did a bit of trotting. My daughter can't wait to start lessons here! I'd definitely recommend this place and we WILL be back!

First time at this place. It's called Off the Road and is located inside Chelmsford Equestrian Centre. They have 4 mini Land Rovers for children to drive. Really easy to use and parents have a emergency key to switch off the car if your child was about to drive into a bush or run over a parent! Very safe and practical.

Have to say really enjoyed it and a great day out for both children and parents. This is a must do activity, you won't be disappointed!

My granddaughter had an amazing time riding a pony for the first time.

I have been having fortnightly private lessons since Septemeber and I love it here. Tracey is my instructor and she's fantastic, she assessed my capabilities whilst putting me on an appropriate horse in my first lesson.
Although I had been around horses for the first 15 years of my life and knew how to ride, it had been a few years since I had been back on a horse so I was a little nervous, especially the fact that the horse was a 17hh thoroughbred! But my worriez were for nothing as he was amazing to ride and I have ridden him a few times since.
Tracey is very encouraging and also reassuring, helping me get back into the basics before pushing further into something new. I don't ride the same horses all the time as it's best to learn on different ones so you're ready for all aspects but Tracey knows exactly what horse/pony is best for me without overwhelming me with something I can't yet handle.
I have now become a regular and can't think of wanting to go anywhere else.

Great riding staff but the reception staff can be a bit to be desired as if you want to cancel or rearrange a lesson there rule is a full 24 hours in advance not even an hour late as they will assign a pony that then can't be changed

The stables has a weight restriction of 11 stone for men or women. In my opinion this should be stated clearly on the website. This would prevent time wasting, and intrusive questions later.
