We all have our bucket lists. Mine do not involve skydiving or a penthouse in the Waldorf Astoria. One of mine for a very long time has been to go Horse Riding. I think they are a beautiful animal and I always imagined that it took quite a bit of skill and bravery for a person to sit on one and go for a good canter never mind a race. My better half understood my feelings on this and for my 43 Birthday took me horse riding. I can't say enough about Abbeyfield and their staff. Darragh had we well sized up. Apparently when the booking was made as a surprise and my dimensions were supplied "now he's 6'3" and 19 stone", Darragh wasn't phased. "I've just the Horse for him". My horses name was "Hooch" and I have no idea how many hands Hooch is, except to say I'd describe him as single storey. Barbara, one of the riders and staff, after supplying a steplader, brilliantly gave me a crash course on which end I was to face and how I was to sit. Although I only interacted with Darragh and Barbra, there seemed to be a great team spirit about the place. I could keep writing about this day but I'll stop so as to finish with the main point of my review. Great day, great staff. I'll be back. See you soon Hooch.

We had such a brilliant afternoon horse riding at Abbyfield farm. From the minute we arrived we were so well looked after. The team in the yard are so professional and friendly and we instantly relaxed and felt safe. We were a family of four at different levels of ability but Grainne and Eva catered for all of us in such a seamless and easy way. I highly recommend Abbyfield farm.

We visited here last Friday to do clay pigeon shooting and Archery for group of 9 of us. Great fun and well worth a visit. Joe and Pat were great looking after us and everyone really enjoyed the experience
