My son has been having riding lessons at CRC for 4 months and loves it. He has received excellent tuition in a warm,friendly and safe environment. Carrington is a great place for anyone to visit- whether for regular lessons, a pony party or a hack out at the weekend. The staff are really friendly but professional and very good teachers....

My daughter rides here regularly every week and has a private lesson. She has been going here for about a year and has loved it. She could ride before she started but they are very good with beginners too and they have riders there of all ages, young and old. We have always found the staff to be knowledgeable, friendly...

My Boyfriend and I decided to give horse riding a go as we are trying to do more things together as a couple. We were both put into beginners class and assigned our horses and everyone was so helpful and friendly. It was the first time for my boyfriend and he left loving and loving his horse for the day...

I'm an on/off regular here when I have time to fit it in around work. The centre has several outdoor arenas and a large indoor school, all of excellent quality. There are horses and ponies for all ages and experience, all very well looked after. The instructors are friendly and professional. It is ABRS and BHS qualified/registered. There is also... More

Best birthday party ever. My daughter had her birthday party at this riding school last sunday and I can honestly say it was the best party that I have ever been to. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and so lovely with all the children. It was really well organised with the children getting a chance to ride and groom... More

My daughter goes to Carrington regularly and is learning to ride there. The staff are lovely and very friendly. After the first lesson the owner knew my daughters name and when she came back for her second lesson was greeted very warmly. They seem to have lots of ponies and horses and my daughter gets to ride a different pony... More

After recently visiting carrington r.c. i can honestly say it is a fantastic school. I used to ride there when i was a child and have fond memories of this place. I find Dr Khan's review totally unrealistic, the horses are well looked after and Sharon is a lovely lady who cannot do enough for you. I have had horses... More

Very unhelful and unfriendly staff. The lesson was so bad i demanded my money back when she refused me she got so annoyed she told me to shut to and leave the premises. I had to get the owner involved and am now taking them to small claims court just to get my £10.80 back! How pathetic, my daughter was... More
