I have been riding here for 8 years and have done both the summer camp and riding lessons. The instructors and amazing horses have allowed me to excel in an environment that is welcoming and fun. The horses are very well taken care of and the facilities are clean and well organized. Would recommend for anyone wanting to learn the basics or wanting to advance. The barn is in a beautiful location and easy to find from the 404 or surrounding areas. The owners care deeply about the horses they have and the safety of all riders. The website is very easy to follow and clearly details what lessons entail as far as number of students, levels of ability and length. At Whitchurch you are given the opportunity to learn all aspects of riding including grooming, tacking up, and stable management. There is no other place I would rather be!

I began riding at Whitchurch Riding Academy summer camp when I was 11. I was hooked! I then took lessons throughout the year, did Pony Club and worked as a Counsellor at camp for years as a teenager. After a long hiatus I returned about 7 years ago and I am so happy I did. My weekly lessons with Dianne's are amazing and the stress of any bad day disappears the second I walk into the barn. Dianne loves her horses and treats them so well, even saving horses that were left broken and battered by other barns. They are very safe horses and great for learning to ride on. I occasionally help out with some teaching there, and I love watching how the horses react to beginners as they learn, they are excellent teachers themselves! There are also advanced lessons and horses for adult riders who want to get back in the saddle, without the commitment (and cost!) of buying their own horse. The barn is always kept clean, is very well maintained and shows true pride in ownership, something not common in many school barns these days.

I went to Whitchurch for both lessons and camp and I would strongly recommend it! The atmosphere is positive and friendly, the horses and barn are well cared for, and the staff are always knowledgable and helpful. When I was first learning to ride at camp the instructors were so patient teaching me all the skills that you need to ride and care for horses. Now as a more advanced rider I really benefit from their expertise and love how friendly everyone is. Having ridden at some other barns while away for school I can say that Whitchurch has become my gold-standard: they've always clean, organized and attentive.

My daughter has been riding at Whitchurch Academy for 4 years, and there aren't enough good things to say about the staff, owners and horses there. The love and care given to the horses is one of the primary reasons we ride at Whitchurch. The owners of the barn are not only wonderful and professional to deal with, but they rescue many of their horses from terrible conditions and give them a beautiful second chance at life at the barn. The staff are knowledgeable, pleasant and friendly, and quickly become like a 2nd family if, like me, you have a child who lives for the barn and spends most of her free time there. The horses are well-mannered, gentle and beautiful, and Tessa and her feline friends are the warmest welcoming committee you could ask for. There are numerous barns in the area one could chose from, but Whitchurch will always be our choice. When people love what they do, it shows. Whitchurch demonstrates their passion for animals and riders in every aspect of their riding school.

I've been riding at Whitchurch Riding Academy for almost 11 years. I started as a camper and fell in love with the staff and the horses. The location is very easy for me to get to from Toronto. The staff make you feel very welcome and are willing to help with anything you may need. Iâ€™ve made friends here that will last me a lifetime. I would recommend Whichurch to anybody who wants to ride from beginner to advanced.
