Very disappointed. Not worth the money. Incredibly cautious about who can canter which I understand but to the point it put off multiple competent riders. Didn't even trot for the whole ride. Also worth noting that immediately upon starting the ride you have to walk through a very deep, fast flowing river and just have to pick up your feet to try and not get wet and go back through on the way home. The horses were not well groomed, most had massive matts in their manes and tails. Any experienced rider should stay well clear. Horses all immediately went on another ride as soon as we got off we were practically shoved out the way for the next group to get one for another two hour ride.

Very very intimidating owner who is extremely rude and very rough looking. Looks more like a dodgy dealers yard than trekking centre.Bad attitude, young inexperienced ponies and young staff.How is this place even allowed to operate. Really wish I read the reviews first being wasting a journey.

Lovely 2 HR treck down to the beach. Lovely horses and staff. A little disappointed that we didn't get to canter on the beach as was advised and pretty much the reason for choosing this place. Instead we only cantered in the woods after a long walk across the beach. No explanation offered. For that reason it was a little over priced.

I took my daughter here as a treat instead of a prom . We stayed in a Hotel the night before just down the Road , it had a spa so this was an added bonus. The weather was really awful but on the actual ride it stopped raining .Lovely horses , friendly and helpful staff , The most amazing scenery and ever changing terrain .My daughter would have found the cantering on the open beach a bit overwhelming she has Autism So I asked if we could have a little canter somewhere else . We did along a Sandy path which was fantastic.We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will certainly be returning.Well worth driving up from Bath

Very bad experience. NOT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. NOT TO MENTION THE RUDE OWNER.My partner bought me a surprise hack for 2 hours for the two of us 16th July to enable me to fulfil my dream of cantering along the beach. It was more like a nightmare. I say the below as someone who spent 10 years taking hacks out for a business in the Cotswolds. Safety and the welfare of horses is always paramount. Their safety standards seem to be stuck in the 90?s with non-safety stirrups and no treads. My reins were falling apart. Walking through a small pen of over 18 loose horses, to mount your own horse. Body protectors were your choice, in riding schools in England this is compulsory for insurance reasons. My partners was a beginner and had no instructor supporting him on the entire ride, despite riding through water and down a steep sand dune. His horse also bolted twice. He also got kicked in the foot as his horse clearly was use to riding nose to tail.The major insult of the entire ride, was the chaos, rudeness on the beach. It was chaos in where we were meant to go, I was meant to go with the young groom for a canter. In all the chaos everything was happening quickly as the horses were all getting agitated by the wait and large pile up of horses, I asked ?where do they stop??. To which the owner at the back (who doesn?t ride with a riding hat) heard and rudely points at me and shouts ?with questions like that you wont be cantering!? I explain polity in the hurried moment I cannot see how that question means I cannot canter, as to me asking where to stop is part of the safety of taking a ride, it is an open endless beach that I have never ridden on. To which they said ?its down to you to stop them?. Which utterly baffled me, as that?s obvious as a rider, but to be able to pull up, you need to know where you are stopping! The irony that up to this point and the rest of the ride, safety hadn?t been a factor. By this point it was too late, they had actually trapped me back into the herd of the group and ignored my comments. Defeating the entire purpose of driving 2.5 hours for the ride. Should it have been for safety reasons (which they later tried to lie was the reason), I would have understood as an experienced rider who use to take hacks for a living. I walked for 1hour 50 minutes of the 2 hour ride. Thankfully the only saving grace was it didn?t rain, I got a 10 minute canter on a track and the views were beautiful.There was no point in raising my complaints after the ride, as I had tried on the beach and was dismissed. The rude person was also the owner, I can?t imagine he would want to hear feedback given he thinks that?s an acceptable way to speak to CUSTOMERS.

Very bad experience. The staff was very rude, you asked them something and they didn't even deign to answer you. The environment is very beautiful, but the walk along the beach lasts 5 minutes. They promised me to canter along the beach and they didn't even let me go through the dunes, THEY DID NOT FULFILL WHAT THE ADVERTISING SAYS. I would not repeat.

Great pony trek, all of the family loved it. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Terrible. Owners welcome to contact me for an explanation.Update: another incident today on the beach... 30+ horses refused to slow down when at speed and almost knocked a young girl over and her dad had to run quickly to get out of the way and stop his daughter being knocked over. Unbelievably irresponsible riding

The ride was lovely but I was a bit gutted that I couldn?t canter. I booked here because I saw that we could canter and I ended up just walking/trotting as my horse wouldn?t turn.
