Yesterday was by far the hardest day in the whole of our time at CRC. Itโs taken time to process and we genuinely donโt feel like we will ever fully get over it. Our boys were the absolute heart and soul of CRC - they were the last of the โOriginalsโ and our hearts are broken. Each of them had their own quirks which we will remember fondly. They are quite simply irreplaceable and we will never see the likes of them again.
As heartbroken as we are, we take comfort in knowing that they went peacefully exactly as they spent their last few years of retirement - together. Knowing how loved they were and with people they knew and loved by their sides speaking to them gently and stroking their beautiful faces. They are no longer in any pain and that is just a small thing that we can do for them after the many years of friendship, love and laughter that they have given us.
William, Topaz, Figgy and our wonderful Ozzy were the epitome of a riding school pony. They were the heart and soul of CRC and will be missed more than we can ever put into words.
Rest peacefully boys, Shannon, Gem and Pops will be waiting for you. CRC just wonโt be the same without you - we love you โค๏ธ

Lots of Horsey fun :)
Our instructors have had lots of fun this week riding our horses during the summer holidays. Looks like the horses have been really enjoying it too :)
We are a busy, yet very friendly Riding School that provides affordable lessons to both adults and children.
We are approved by the Local Authority, The British Horse Society, and The Pony Club.
We are based just a few miles south west of Manchester in the Mersey valley green belt. We are situated in 450 acres of open countryside yet still close to the motorway network and this allows us to offer fantastic off road hacking routes to our clients.
Our facilities include one indoor school and four, all weather, rubber surfaced outdoor floodlit menages with comfortable viewing facilities and fully stocked cafรฉ.
We are the only riding school in the area to have our own Racewood Dressage simulator, the most advanced of its type in the world. On โOthelloโ, we can offer technical riding lessons to nervous or returning riders and beginners through to advanced dressage riders.
Our experienced and friendly staff can offer riding lessons to suit all ages (from aged 2+) and abilities. We pride ourselves in being extremely family orientated by providing lots of activities for all the family to be involved in together.
All our 50+ horses and ponies are chosen for their suitable temperament and are fully trained to ensure both the safety and enjoyment of all our customers.
As well as lessons for all abilities including complete beginners, we provide various accredited courses which include both riding and care elements to children and adults, hacks, courses and clubs.
We provide many various activities throughout the school holidays which include โDays on the Farmโ and โToddler Sessionsโ.
We are also a Polocrosse centre for those of you who fancy participating in something a little more โvigorousโ as well as delivering mounted games.
Our Pony Club centre is one of the largest in the country and is split into three age ranges. Activities are provided for children and teens from age 5-18 years old. The course content is adjusted to suit the age of the child.
We can also offer jumping lessons to horse owners who would like to bring their horse to our centre to improve their jumping skills.
During school holidays, we always offer a range of activities to both children and adults (sign up to our newsletter for the latest events).
We also offer our very popular โPony Partiesโ and we recommend you book early due to current demand.

Please Note the maximum weight for riders is 13 stone (riders will be weighed at our discretion).
