Woodlands Trail Riding (Riding Location)

I purchased a voucher from Groupon and booked in with my visiting family from the uk. Sent the staff an email who responded with a questionnaire which I promptly filled in, however what I didn’t realise is that it sat in my outbox and my booking was never confirmed. Turned up at the appointment time to realise this, however the staff were so accommodating they got us to fill it in there and then, but we were lucky as they had room for us - so make sure your booking is confirmed. We were greeted by the instructors who talked us through the process and then walked us down to get our helmets and introduce us to our horses. The instructors took their time with each rider to ensure that they were happy and comfortable as we had a lot of beginner riders on this trial.We were really well looked after, and everyone was happy and confident on their steeds, and the beginners were exceptionally well looked after. The age range on our ride was between 12 and 70 years!I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to have a go at horse riding, the horses are very well behaved and staff exceptional.Massive thanks to our tour guide Juliette and to the lovely Romeo who has stolen my heart a little!

Had a wonderful time on the Trail rides. I rode Curly, who was the most beautiful palomino. My guide and instructor was Tam and she was amazing! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The scenery was breathtaking. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend.

Highly recommended, booked the intro to trail ride with my Fiancé was such an amazing experience. We had Shen as our instructor who was so calm and patient with us, such a great teacher. Perfect for beginner riders with the 30min lesson at the start and a 1hr trail walk.

I've never before had the kind of positive customer service I received today from the owners of Woodlands Lodge. I had a problem, which was my own fault, and their response was remarkable. As well as the kind regard they showed to me and my daughter, the horses were very well cared for, the riding was fun, and the knowledge and expertise of the staff was fantastic. I highly recommend Woodlands. We will be back!

I enjoyed my 1h session very much. The staff were friendly, caring and attentive. The area is pretty and so close to the city. You will also see planes flying very close which may or may not be interesting to you. It is a great activity on the weekend and I recommend Woodlands Trail Riding.

We booked a pony party for our 6 and 3 year olds. It was an absolutely fantastic experience for our kids. Jess and Anasee was just so great and patient with them, chatting to them the whole time about the ponies. The horses looked well taken care of which is a huge plus for us. Such a great place so close to the city. Will definitely be back.

I highly recommend Woodlands trail riding,I recently booked in for a 1 hour private ride which I thoroughly enjoyed. My instructor Jarrod was a highly knowledgeable equestrian who made me feel at ease during my ride. I really appreciated his guidance and pointers which he gave me while riding as I am still building my confidence during the canter outside of an arena. After a few quick suggestions and tips I felt it made a huge difference in my confidence and building stability while riding. My horse Seb was truly lovely to ride and had a lovely temperament. He was forward moving and fun to ride. All of the horses looked well cared for, staff were friendly and amenities clean. I had a great experience, if I were local I know where and who I would to go to further my riding experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 1 hour private ride , accompanied with Gerard from Woodlands.Gerard is safety conscious( importantly) but ensured I had an enjoyable riding experience. Walk, trot and canter . My chosen horse was terrific!He is extremely knowledgeable, having had a lifetime around horses and happy to share this information.Am returning to book a private ride again with him to improve my riding ability.Yes I can ride, but he will improve my ability.I’d encourage learners through to very experienced riders to visit this beautiful property . Horses are all well kept , the saddles and tack are of good quality and horses are shod. The pet goat that roams around looking for food is hilarious.Great day out !

Highly recommend Woodlands trail riding!I did 1 hour private ride with instructor Gerald and he is so knowledgeable and allow me to experience the first proper canter outside area with his guidance.Really enjoy the ride and will definitely come back again!
