Holly Tree Is A Poor Excuse For A Riding School, S
Holly tree is a poor excuse for a riding school, some of their horses should have been retired and put out of work a long time ago yet, to our understanding they are STILL in full work which is absolutely ridiculous. They are unprofessional and get the kids to do all of their work for them, so they are getting paid for just sitting back and bossing around children as young as 7-15 years of age. I found this riding school absoloutely Appauling and eventually pulled my daughter and her friend away from there as they were crying in the car home every time they went and it was just getting far too much. The people there are utterly unfair and judgemental therefore they couldn't learn properly in an environment so unfriendly. Horses are treated unfairly as they stay tacked up ALL day and have like an hour in total rest every day which is terrible. we now have our own horse and I can assure you that we will never be returning to holly tree, except maybe with an inspector! They are only ever on a bit of form and have a bit of strategy when they know someone is watching what they are doing e.g. Inspectors&viewers! This riding school is not about helping children or their horses it is just about the CASH!

Brilliant
My daughter rode there for 6 years and never had a dull moment! She learnt more and more and got to the highest lesson and she loved it. They had a brilliant outdoor arena and horses which are trustworthy and so gentle to look after. She only left last year as she did other activities and was going through her big exams. So I just wanted to say Thankyou for all of her time there and I would strongly recommend it to all of my friends
Friendly Pleasant School
I have had several lessons and absolutely love the staff,it's nice when they have been in the same place for years .the horses and ponies are all well cared .I so pleased I have found holly tree

Unprofessional
I recently had an hour long lesson at the Holy Tree which was an experience best forgotten. The staff were incapable of planning a lesson, which was extremely unstructured and rushed.
One of our horses refused to trott under any circumstances, and after much effort was put down to rider inability. Not the nicest approach, especially when said rider is experienced.
In addition to this, our instructor repeatedly tried to cut our lesson short on numerous occasions. After the first attempy i was forced to tell the instructor to continue, upon which point she stormed out to check the time. Low and behold, we had another 20 minutes left. Utterly shambolic.

Dangerous And Unprofessional
Hideous place, I think they play on the novice. I was shocked to learn they put novice riders on ponies backed for only a few weeks with gawpy primary school kids leading them.
The pinnacle of the experience was seeing the instructor kick a horse up it's backside to get it in canter. Disgraceful.

Horrible Nasty Money Grapping Unprofessional
This place is terrible,unhappy staff which don't stay long,lessons uninteresting and never get the full time that was paid for,money grabbing and not interested in their clients,people tend not to go back here look around there are much better places.
Rather Go Elsewhere
Not very professional establishment, only out to take your money, be careful not to purchase vouchers as they dont tell you that if you dont use them you cant get a refund. the owner and the staff disclose the bare minimum and lack any sense of customer service or goodwill. If you plan to take a child there for lessons think twice. Even the instructors walk out which shows what a poor business it is, money grabbing with no interest in building a rapor just how much they can take. disgusting, should be ashamed as an owner and I will ensure I tell as many people in the industry as I can.

Fab Yard And Riding School
I loved the staff and enjoyed the lesson
I too whiteness the buying and selling of ponies that were not suitable for the riders. One in particular was a grey Connemara. The young girl which bought it was in tears every day. It threw her and members of staff off daily. While she wasn't present at the yard staff were asked to ride and lunge it before she came so it was tiered upon her arrival. They then offered her a swap for a coloured pony which napped and was hard for her to ride. The same was asked of the staff again to ride it. I have seen many people come through the doors of holly tree whilst I had my horse there, and leave with disappointment and a problem pony on the hands. Hence my decision to smelly my pony and leave
This riding school have lovely surroundings and could be very good but isn't. We bought to horses one was very dangerous and the other one that just would not ride, when confronted they placed the blame on us. A very poor place in our mind and we have just moved our Horse together with many other friends. I have seen my daughter reduced to tears and resent the way this place use young girls as cheap labour.
Would not set foot in that place.
