Reviews of Barnfield Riding School
"I love riding at Barnfield. Over the time I have been riding there, all my instructors have been friendly, knowledgeable and adapted lessons to what I needed at that time. Although it is small stables there is a horse or pony to suit everyone!"
"Our experience was very unpleasant and disappointing. Our lesson was at 3:30, I was told to come by 3 for the preparation and we arrived at 2:50, however they started at 3:40 and the blond lady told me that was my fault because I arrived at 3:15. However when I complain she told me she was the only one running around and couldn’t do any further, she told me that she could only “bend over”, I though she was very rude, however she managed to keep the kids on for the ten minutes lost in the beginning. As I was asking why they didn’t provide the kind of lesson that I paid for, the same rude lady was making excuses up, pretending that what she offered was better, that what I was asking was more expensive.. etc..I wasn’t given what I did pay for, I was not happy, in fact not even my girls. She went inside and ask to the owner ( by the way, he was previously complaining that he didn’t want to do that job anymore) if he wanted to make things right with me and he says “NO”. I booked for one teacher only ( wishing to be in the arena, as they mentioned in the Mail ) so the kids could be free with horses, instead they have done exactly what my girls didn’t want to, go out with one person ( each) holding the horses, just like two years old child, my teen come back so bored. There were a young girl was waiting for a wile to talk to someone and at the end she left in tears as nobody could be bother to talk to her, ( she just wanted to help with horses, that what she said ) I will make sure I will never come back there, simply because I have try to explain I wasn’t happy and they couldn’t be bother to listen, she was just talking about her frustration. Now I understand why they are not busy as much as the others, because they are unprofessional."
"Lovely riding school. Friendly staff. My granddaughter loves it there. She has ADHD and becomes distracted but the staff are so patient with her. Would highly recommend."
"My autistic and ADHD son just had a really horrid experience here. He was booked in for a trial by a lovely lady last week but when I called this morning to confirm I was barked at by a rude lady saying he needed gloves for Covid reasons. Anyone with experience of autism would know that it comes with sensory issues and I explained that on a 26 degree afternoon gloves would be tricky. She effectively brushed me off and we agreed to try the lesson but told me to be 30 minutes early. My son arrived (at the time requested), and was just repeatedly barked at by the ‘teacher’, we were told he was too early and she kept raising her voice at him to the point where he said he didn’t want to ride with ‘this rude lady’ (his words). His carer wasn’t allowed to walk with them (again incredibly unorthodox for an RDA approved school as again anyone with some understanding of ASD and ADHD would know that separating him so quickly having built less than zero rapport would likely cause massive anxiety). It’s such a shame because it seems like there are lots of lovely individuals there just not the woman we got stuck with."
"I booked for my two grandchildren two separate ride and groom sessions. (8 years and 13 years old) with OUTSIDE ride. When I arrived they were put in the same GROUP lesson with 5 other young riders, even though I booked for them to receive each one PRIVATE session. They still charged me the full amount of £50 each (excluding hire of hats and boots ). Also I thought they would be grooming each one their own horse instead of a shared lesson again. Still charged as if they were given private session. I am so very disappointed and feel very mislead. I specifically asked for a ride outdoors not inside stable. Not only they were put in a group lesson inside the stables. I was hoping for them to get an exciting ride out NOT A GROUP lesson to encourage them to enjoy a ride in nature then join club for lessons. They were utterly bored by the group lesson , indoor … spending g too much time standing still … waiting for others. It was not what I booked for and definitely what I was charged for. Only reply I got : we are short of staff and horses. So why did they book them in and confirmed the booking and still charge me full price for two separate private rides outside , and two separate grooming session? Wouldn’t even consider a refund., or offer alternative riding session ….. we were seriously considering their share a pony scheme. Not anymore !"
