First lesson tomorrow night.
I have been looking for a new RS in my area but nothing seems very easy to get to!
Thought I would try London so going to give Westway a go tomorrow evening.
Probably be stiff as a board but it will be so good to get back in the saddle again!

Any NR's go there?

Fingers crossed it will be ok! :p:D

Don't go there myself but would be interested to know what you think. I'm riding but not in a formal RS environment and feel I would benefit from some lessons. I'm in London and am considering Westway so report would be appreciated!

Hope it goes well!

Well I went last night and location wise its got ot be the oddest place right under the Westway, but a a result the cuddly cob I was on did not turn a hair.

The people are friendly the horses seem content and their area is clean and tidy.

As a tube strike is looking I will probably have to cancel next weeks, but I wasnt to have a few lessons and then go out for a gallop on the scrubs!

I just did a 30 minute private, first half on lunge (not ridden for a few months) so that they could assess me. So we did a bit of W/T/C like that and then some off the lunge.
My chap was very steady but would listen to clear commands but did need a lot of leg. I am told they have horses to suit all sorts so hope to try lots over time unless I find a fave quickly!!! :D
