South Cambridgeshire Equestrian Centre

South Cambridge equestrian centre is a great riding school and livery yard . I’d lessons here and the facility was always very clean and well looked after . Everyone on the yard was friendly and always happy to help if you don’t know how to do something.Furthermore Christian is a great teacher and is very patient ,kind and always gives clear and constructive feedback to help improve your riding and understanding in horses.I’d certainly recommend the riding school to anyone who’s interested in riding as you’ll be certain to gain your confidence in horses.

Review on behalf of my sister - Attended lessons for awhile there. The instructor was very abrupt, rude and would make you feel 10 inches tall. He knocked my confidence so I moved on. Thankfully I found a really friendly and welcoming riding centre where I was able to build my confidence back up. Riding should be something to enjoy and look forward to. Not to be shouted at or spoken to in such a rude manner. Plus I don't want to be paying for something I am not enjoying. I really hope that one day he learns some manners and straightens up his attitude for future riders sakes - otherwise there won't be any! Other than that the facilities are very good - can't fault them.

such a rude man. To me and my kids. Brushed it off as “he’s having an off day”. Until …..I emailed and texted 4 times over the last 2 weeks to ask if I’m up to date with payments and to pause lessons due to my medical reasons for my child. I lost track after Xmas and my last payment was late. So wanted to check where I was. This was the reply TWO WEEKS after ignoring all my texts and emails.Disappointing.“I have to go through the diaries because you have not kept a tally. I’m very busy and will do it when I have a moment. I can’t just drop everything. You can’t have many left anyway, as you were late paying for the last block.“

Booked a taster session for my daughter and her friend, ages 5 and 6. The facilities, horses and surroundings are all excellent but the people could do with being a lot friendlier. We were spoken to abruptly, bordering on rude but luckily the girls were treated fairly well and seemed to enjoy it. However the lack of warmth and enthusiasm put me off and I won't be going back. It's a shame really.

I was struggling to find a good livery yard outside Cambridge. SCEC was the perfect find ! My horse is an advanced dressage horse and has been used to 5* yards. I wanted him to have half-day turnouts whatever the weather and the owner was accommodating to this request. The indoor school and the hacking around the yard are also a big bonus. Although the centre is a riding school, the staff have the time and the professionalism, knowledge and one-to-one dedication to each horse which is great. I know that my horse is in the right hands and I trust the yard 100% with my boy. They are always willing to help out and have a genuine interest in the well-being and safety of the horses. The centre also organises clinics every three weeks, with Prix Saint Georges dressage and show jumping trainers. Additionally, having an instructor on-site allows me to have another set of eyes when my horse and I train in between clinics. I would 100% recommend this centre as a livery yard and riding school.

Clean, friendly yard with excellent, knowledgeable teachers whose first priority is the horse welfare

I have been riding and keeping horses on livery here for 14-15 years. Horses are cared for like individuals and nothing is missed by the team at SCEC. The facilities are fantastic with good off road hacking.Christian is an excellent teacher who provides thoughtful and clear feedback during lessons. I never leave a lesson without having learnt something new! I would highly recommend.

We have our mare at SCEC and have always found the instructors and staff to be both knowledgeable and professional. We would highly recommended this yard for both lessons and livery. Careful and considerate instruction from the riding instructor has increased our daughter's riding confidence exponentially.

The staff are really kind and supportive of everyone who I have seen ride there. My riding has improved a lot since I started there six years ago and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. The horses are all really well kept and the knowledge that the staff hold is of very high standard.

Beautiful stable and horses. I’ve tried a few stables in Cambridge and in Milan, but this one is the best amongst them. The approach to horse riding is much different from what I was told before. Finally my lessons are enjoyable and doesn’t make me feel dreadful
