My friend and I took my horse to Studland horse B&B facility and had a wonderful time! We used their fantastic chaperone service to show us the routes which worked so well. Jodie and her team were super friendly & accommodating and we will be always be indebted to Jodie for taking the many videos and photos of us riding - precious memories of our amazing break in Studland. We will be back!

I took my best friend and bride to be for a semi private beach ride . It was something we have both always wanted to do together. I have my own horse and ride regularly, my friend hadn’t ridden in a good few years. From the moment we arrived we felt utterly relaxed and in safe hands. Jodie helped us mount out beautiful horses, Clyde and Bandit. We then had the most amazing beach ride ever!! Jodie was the most fantastic guides and was clearly so knowledgable about the horses we were on boards . 100% will be back again for another ride!!

Had a fantastic morning last Tuesday (24th Oct 2017). Laura was brilliant and I rode Lady, what a lovely horse!. As I haven't ridden for 20 years (this was my 60th birthday present) Laura kept asking what I was comfortable with and we did canter loads. Laura and I had so much in common, and also both our mothers were Kennel Maids how uncanny is that? I would recommend Studland Stables for the experience of a life time to everyone who wants to experience a beach ride
