Glen jakes is absolutely amazing. My child went on a walk out there and didn't stop talking about how much she enjoyed it. She said her leader was very happy, and was very nice with her. (She was a little blonde girl). But yes, by far the best riding school iv take my daughter to. Wouldn't mind joinging myself. Thanks... More

My daughter recently had a pony party for her 5th birthday and it was great. Both she and her friends thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was well organised and good fun, the games they played with and without the horses were fun and the young girls (particularly Hannah) were great with the children, enthusiastic and full of energy. I wouldn't... More

I recently attended this establishment as part of the “Groupon” voucher scheme and can honestly say that it was the Worst! experience of a riding lesson that I have ever experienced in my life. As an experienced rider and having undertaken and passed various BHS exams I understand the importance of safety, friendliness and professionalism within a riding school. None... More

Glen Jakes Riding School would like to take this opportunity to comment on the above review, and to clear up some of the issues, if not all, that the client felt it necessary to write such a poor statement of her experience with us.

I was looking for a new riding school to attend regularly so was delighted when a Groupon voucher for Glen Jakes came through to get me started and introduce me to a new stables. What a let down.
