If you are looking for a riding school that offers both expert tuition and guidance then look no further. Middle riding school is perfect for both novice and those with a little more experience. Heather and Steve along with Leah provide the perfect balance when it comes to riding. My eldest Freya has been going for nearly 12 months and has improved no end under their watchful gaze. More...

Today my daughter had a pony party for her birthday here at Middleton livery yard, and all the kids loved it. Heather and Steve made it so much fun.

Haven't visited as much as I should but it's wonderful to see a riding school thriving in a time where they seem to be disappearing. Horses are well kept and always turned out to a high standard. Heather is a fantastic instructor and is always so patient but up for a laugh as well. The yard is impeccable and facilities are well maintained to a high standard. Lovely place More...

If you love ponies, horses, riding and want to learn to ride then this is a great place to start. Facilities are fantastic and Heather and Steve always make you feel welcome and part of the Middleton Family. Friendly yet highly professional at all times. Our youngest girl Eloise (aged 10) loves the place and would no doubt sleep in one of the stables if she could! After trying other riding schools and getting nowhere, Heather & Steve have brought out the confidence in Eloise and she’s now a regular face there and enjoying every minute. Well done to Heather, Steve and the Middleton Team. Give them a call and take a look. More...

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Middleton for my Daughter’s 6th birthday party. The children spent time grooming the pony’s before taking part in riding challenges and games in teams. All the staff were lovely and really good at directing and supporting the kids, especially as the majority of them had never been on a horse before.

All the children are still talking about the party and had a great time. The rosettes were a lovely touch and many of them have taken them into school to talk about their experience.

I agree with Rachel that a bench and gazebo for them to be able to eat/drink on would just add to the experience, but even so I don’t think we could have asked for a better party.

Many thanks to Heather, Steve and the girls

Everything she taught me yesterday worked perfectly, straight forward, simple instruction, stops u as soon as it is wrong so u get it right quickly. Always confirms lessons, reliable, not late and so easy to talk to and going extra mile by offering support on phone n text if i need it.

She is very reliable, always early for lessons and goes above and beyond by offering advice and support on the phone what ever time it is as well as always texting the day before the lesson to confirm it!
