I can’t recommend Hiddy & Co highly enough for adult riding lessons. From the very first session, Hiddy made me feel completely comfortable, supported, and confident. Hiddy is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what she does. What makes this experience truly special is the beautiful combination of riding and equine therapy. Being around the horses is not only a learning experience but also incredibly grounding, calming, and therapeutic. Each lesson feels like time for both personal growth and wellbeing. The horses are beautifully cared for and perfectly matched to your level, which makes learning such a positive and enjoyable experience. Every lesson is well structured, encouraging, and tailored to help you progress at your own pace. It’s such a welcoming, friendly environment — ideal whether you’re returning to riding after years away or starting as a complete beginner. I genuinely look forward to every lesson. Thank you, Hiddy & Co, for making riding such a pleasure

Absolutely love my lessons with Hiddy. It’s been a long time out of the saddle for me & Hiddy is wonderful at making me ride (I mean truely ride)!! Watching everything meticulously & bringing it to my attention but at the same time with a heart centred approach. The lessons are on Hiddy’s horses- who are beautiful, safe and calm. They are also exceptionally looked after and the property is beautiful. It’s something I look forward to every week.

Hayley is an angel sent at the perfect time for our family; she is warm, skilled, knowledgeable, generous, relatable and organised! Hayley is supporting our 9yo daughter in her equestrian dream and her level of care far exceeds what I can put into words. We have watched our daughters confidence and connection grow in such a short time and are extremely excited for the future. Very grateful!

Hiddy has been incredible to help get me back in the saddle after more than a decade break. Her calm confidence and steady, kind horses are a perfect match for anyone looking to start their riding journey again. Extra bonus credits for the stunning location of her property and for how well looked after her animals are.

Hayley is a respectable coach, and one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, and genuine people I know. She has welcomed me into her world, making me feel heard, understood, and valued. As someone I admire and look up to, Hayley has taken me under her wing and nurtured my passion and confidence in working with, and owning, horses. The knowledge Hayley has passed on has been invaluable in my journey with and around horses, and I couldn’t be more grateful to her. Her patience, intuition, and unwavering support have inspired me to grow not only as a rider but as a person. Every lesson is filled with encouragement, laughter, and learning — a reflection of the safe and empowering environment she creates. Hayley has truly shaped the way I see and connect with horses, and I feel incredibly lucky to be guided by someone with such heart and wisdom.
