Smallage Farm riding stables, Smallage Lane, Aughton is reputed to be quite good.

My sister used to ride there for years before getting her own horse. She actually stabled it there for a long time too.

My experience of riding schools in Sheffield:

Snowdon Farm at Troway is excellent. You get very rigorous and intense lessons. They're friendly enough but their serious approach might put you off; it shouldn't though because they are definitely the best I have ever been too (I'm not a very good rider by the way).

Unless they've changed in the last few years, they will not allow you to hack unless you have proved you're capable of doing so in the school first - which might sound draconian but it makes sense really.

Smallage Farm on the other hand will plonk you on a pony and hope for the best. Some people like these stables because there is no pressure on you at all, but I've been on some hacks there that have descended into pure chaos. Also expect to have loads of kids on the ride with you. Cheap but I now avoid the place.

There's a big farm up in Stannington Village that has horse riding from it, I know cos we see horse riders around all the time in the local area.

I ride at (and keep my horses at) Smeltings Farm in Ringinglow. Unless you have prior experience though theyre waiting list is pretty long. They are also quite expensive but on this side of sheffield they are pretty much the onl place and they are really good and friendly, with lovely horses. The website is; http://www.equestrian-training.co.uk if you want to take a look.

Ive heard some good things about Snowdon Stables but you'd probably be best reposting this on http://www.newrider.com on the forum - there'd be tons of people to give you different views on places around sheffield.

Oh and there's a Mayfield Valley Pony Club run at Smeltings, they have a horse loaning scheme, and I think there's also a Hope Valley Riding Club.

There's also Barlow and High Peak Pony Clubs which are hunt affiliated I believe.

It depends on age really what is available - are you here for uni? PM me if you like, or reply.
