How we make riding feel personal from the start
A more personal way to learn about horses
Finding the right place to ride can feel daunting when you want more than a standard lesson. Our team at Springall Equestrian Services built the service around that need, giving you focused one-to-one support in a setting where your confidence matters just as much as your progress. We bring more than 30 years of experience to sessions shaped around your goals, your pace and the way you learn effectively. That means you can feel safe, seen and properly supported from your very first visit.
Our reviews
We cannot recommend Charlotte Springall highly enough. My daughter had a fall about a year ago and completely lost her confidence in the saddle. We weren’t sure if she’d ever get back to where she was, but after a few lessons with Charlotte, the transformation in her confidence has been amazing. Charlotte is so encouraging and has a way of explaining technical control that actually makes sense to a young rider. My daughter is now riding to a good standard again and, most importantly, she's smiling! Every lesson is varied and engaging! Thank you, Charlotte!
Back on 12th April we stayed at Green Hill Farm and wanted a lesson for both of our granddaughters age 6 and 2 years old. The owner of our accommodation at Green Hill Farm recommended Charlotte and we were not disappointed! Both girls were prepared with helmets and walked to the stables hand in hand…..to then ride out to a separate field. What an experience it was for our older child who had never ridden before - she was confident and managed to stay focused as she was encouraged to walk and trot as instructed. Our youngest had no fear, learning with Charlotte, as she also was shown how to walk and trot around! The staff were so kind, making both girls really welcome and they really enjoyed the experience. I know now they will want to continue! Brilliant day - thanks to all the staff - we’ve recommended this stable to the owners at Green Hill Farm to add to their local interest file as it was only a 5 minute drive from the site. Thank you all so much!
Support that meets you where you are
Your riding experience should feel encouraging, not rushed or overwhelming.

Meet Charlotte
Charlotte Springall Equestrian is becoming a well-regarded equestrian specialist training centre in the area.
Whatever your level or discipline, Charlotte will inspire, coach and mentor you to achieve greater.
“Nothing less than success.”
​
Charlotte has a lifetime of working with horses. Initially specialising in breaking and producing horses for competition in all disciplines, Springall Equestrian is now open to everyone.
“There’s no doubt about it, horses are therapeutic. From a cuddle at the end of a long day to achieving a dream with your four-legged friend, horses make us feel good, they make us understand more about ourselves and they make us happy.
My aim is that every one who rides with me is given a chance to enjoy being with a horse and in doing so, has the opportunity to derive a direct benefit, be it learning new skills, increasing ones knowledge, having fun, and in doing so, gaining the opportunity to achieve their full potential. From beginner to Grand Prix, there are no boundaries or limits to what we can achieve.”
