We absolutely love Ampfield. When our daughter joined in 2022 she progressed in a year faster than she had over three years in her previous yard. She has loaned three different horses, all of excellent character and quality and has taken part in unaffiliated and affiliated competitions with brilliant results. The instructors are friendly and professional and look after the riders while making sure they get the right instruction and skills they need to improve their riding. Both flat and jump private and group lessons are very beneficial and have helped our daughter improve immensely. I have also joined Ladies Morning, a group one hour session for older riders who wish to restart riding, improve or just have a bit of riding fun with likeminded people. The stables also offer beach rides and forest hacks which are very popular. Highly recommended.

Fantastic riding school

Fantastic riding school. Kind and experienced staff, my daughter has progressed massively since joining in August when her old riding school closed. Highly recommend. Amazing opportunities to travel to external competitions, beach hacks and more.

Friendly and professional stables

We have been so impressed with how friendly and supportive the staff and instructors are at Ampfield Riding Stables. My 15 year old daughter started learning to ride at Ampfield stables last year and has really increased her skills and confidence with the help from the team. We would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to learn to ride with a professional and caring team.

A brilliant professional yard

A brilliant yard, I have passed BHS exams and progressed to winning rosettes for dressage and jumping in the 2 years I have ridden here. So rare to find a yard with horses and instructors that help people reach their goals and have fun and friendship along the way. A true family run gem. And amazing beach rides !

Excellent place to learn to ride

Excellent place to learn to ride. Horses are well looked after and there are a range of different horses for different abilities. Staff are knowledgeable and experienced and tailor the lesson to the rider’s needs and abilities. As a very nervous adult beginner I have grown so much in confidence, knowledge and ability under the expert tuition here. Highly recommend.

Arrived as advised

Arrived as advised, 15 minutes early, yet the instructor showed up late without acknowledging the delay. The session was cut short to just 15 minutes instead of the promised half hour. Additionally, unattended dogs almost led to a mishap. Overall, the place lacks friendliness and organization. I'd recommend steering clear.

Our six year old daughter has been having lessons at Ampfield since last year. She loves riding here and is making great progress. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging and the horses are happy and well cared-for. Highly recommended.
