"Thank you for the most enjoyable morning. It was lovely to ride such nice happy horses in a friendly atmosphere." "Apart from ensuring the rain stayed away, your efforts to ensure that I felt welcome, remain safe and enjoy my time with you and your horses was really appreciated. It was lovely to see how you allow your horses to be horses reflects on their manner and behaviour." "I never expected to ride such a beautiful horse across such stunning countryside with such a lovely group of like-minded people. You were so careful and considerate with me - I really appreciated your gentle advice. I haven't stopped smiling since I left you." |
| "I have just spent 3 days at the Talland Equestrian Centre. They had some lovely horses and really good instructors, but your little herd still come out on top."
"It is a great pleasure to ride out with Chris and Edwin on one of their many quality horses, who are selected to match, and if you are willing, to extend your abilities as a rider. The country around the yard offers excellent, mostly off road, riding all year round. I have found, during the three years I have been riding there, that I always look forward to my next ride and the warm welcome extended by Edwin, Chris and the many other regulars. " "It was brilliant to ride Whistle, such a wonderful horse, over such beautiful countryside. This experience was something I didn't think existed until yesterday." |

"Edwin once said that riding Haddon House horses was the next best thing to having your own horse. I would go further than that - these horses are much better than most leisure riders and many professionals would ever have the opportunity to own. Quality horses and quality tack - no other riding stables I know has a full set of Stubben tack to complement their horses!"
"The last thing I expected to find in Over Haddon was horse heaven! You are greeted by a herd of happy horses, immaculately presented, well mannered, educated and cared for. The 'ride' itself, much more than expected, forward going, undulating terrain and breathtaking scenery. The lesson in traditional horsemanship comes free. No fancy headcollars, lead ropes or sticks here! Horse owners: it's a must - my head's still buzzing. " "Thank you for letting me ride some fantastic horses over the past few years. I learnt so much from both you and Edwin and you gave me the confidence to ride horses that I would never had ridden otherwise. It's a very special place and I wish you all the best for the future." |
| "I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the Chatsworth ride, and the opportunity to get to know everyone a little better. I'm sure rides like that are small beer to you both, but for me it was very special - not just the deliciously long canter up the hill through Chatsworth, but the beautiful lanes and woodland paths en route. And it felt SO splendid riding through Bakewell and over the bridge - how lucky I am. Thank you for opening up a whole new pleasure zone amidst the rest of life's bedlam. "
"Thank you for giving me the confidence to trust the horse. When I came to you, I thought I could ride. I now realise I was merely sitting in the saddle and hanging on by the reins. You have done wonders for my confidence and technique." "After riding at Haddon for many years with their beautiful horses and wonderful countryside, along with a friendly organised yard, I would not consider riding anywhere else." |

"One of the things that impressed me most about Haddon is the professional commitment you show to your horses and riders." "I was taken aback by the sheer quality and beauty of the horses. I am simply spoiled by the experience. You are looked after from the moment you arrive. Upon returning, you also have the opportunity to untack and turn out your horse. This for me is close to owning a quality horse for a few hours. I believe there is no other establishment that can match the standards that Haddon House offer." |
