    I began my adventure with horses here a couple of months ago. I don’t have a point of reference, but highly recommend this place nonetheless. You can book a one-off lesson with one of the kindest instructors on earth for really fair price and once you’re done, enjoy the countryside and have a coffee at the cafe on site. There is ample parking and all facilities you need.
