Millhouse Stables

Proprietor Nicola has owned Millhouse Stables for nearly 30 years and treats all her clients (both human & horsey) as extended family. Nicola has experience in most disciplines, although she is the first to admit that dressage is not her forte!

Instructor Ruth has a wealth of experience teaching both adults & children, not only in riding schools but for pony club as well.

Instructor Jodie has been with Millhouse for about 19 years now. Jodie's main interest is in dressage and those all important flatwork skills!

Instructor Anna is has been riding since she was 4 years old & has competed in all disciplines as well as being a member of the pony club.

Instructor Jenni has done a little bit of everything and she is currently bringing on a young horse who you may see around the yard with the hopes of eventing her.

Instructor Ben is accomplished across all disciplines. Competing up to 4* at eventing, 1.30m Showjumping and eventually focusing on dressage where he has competed up to International small tour level. Having risen through both pony club and riding club as a child, Ben now focuses on coaching using his extensive knowledge to develop both horse and rider. He is a fully insured BHS accredited professional coach and is liked by all of our riders!

Instructor Lydia has two horses of her own, one of which is a youngster that she hopes to bring on to compete in British Showjumping. She recently completed a degree in Equine Sport Science at Brackenhurst and is still studying towards her higher BHS levels.

Yard Staff Judith is one of our hardworking members of yard staff. Judith also owns Moon and together they enjoy hacking around some of our beautiful countryside.

Yard Staff Grace is one of yard staff, who you will regularly see on a Weekend. She learned to ride with us, then did an apprenticeship with us and now is a part-time member of the team.

Brian is our gentle giant, he is extremely genuine. Before coming to us he spent his time hunting. He has, however, turned his hoof quite well to working in the riding school. Due to his size Brian is used for our adult riders.

Midnite is a lovely all rounder who is an asset to the riding school, and can be ridden by all types of riders, however, you wont see her on group hacks as she has been known to get a bit too excited and have a yeehaw moment!

Ollie loves to jump and finds schooling a bit boring, so occasionally he likes to provide his own entertainment! He isn't a novice ride so is usually saved for our more experienced riders.

Moon takes every discipline in his stride and is a bit of a cool customer. Jumping is definitely his favourite though and he loves a trip out for a fun ride or a hack in the woods.

Gadget is a great all rounder, he has been there done that and knows all the tricks, he will make you work for it but that's what we love about him. His favourite thing is definitely hacking and can be ridden by any of our children or small adults.

Rolo is for sure our safe ride, he is steady and dependable, some might describe him as bombproof! He can be ridden by anyone and everyone.

With a kind heart and a calm nature, Amy is the perfect schoolmaster, ideal for beginners and nervous riders, but also happy to give more confident riders a fun, responsive ride.

With her unflappable temperament and comfortable paces, Emma is a favourite in our lessons, safe, reliable, and always willing to please. She's been there and done it all!

Jake is a great allrounder, and a true professional when it comes to the riding school. He is great for beginners & more experienced children alike but as he gets older prefers the lead-rein lessons for a slower way of life.

Ellie is a fantastic addition to us here at MHS, she has been there done that, and is our perfect pony club pony! She looks after her little jockeys and just loves to jump.

Lil is Ellie's best friend she is a lot younger and has less experience, but we all love her. She can be a little stubborn off lead rein but is making great progress with her education.

From jumping to dressage, she can do it all. Lola is very popular with both our adults and our teenagers, in fact she is probably one of the favourites on the yard with our riders. Lola's only downfall is that she is well known on the yard for being extremely greedy!

This lovely little mare is very eager to please, however, she is a speedy and sensitive girl so requires a softer rider to get the best out of her.

Coffee is our golden oldie, he is retired from the riding school so he no longer takes part in lessons other than the occasional first timer, or pony day. He is an extremely steady-eddy so is sure to look after the little ones.

Ebony is retired but will occasionally come back in from the field for someone special. She is a lovely old girl and would be guaranteed to keep you safe.

Bella is certainly keen and loves her work. She has been there and done it all, but after a break from ridden life has taken some time to be re-educated on life in the riding school.

Ivy is still green and as she continues her education requires a more confident and experienced rider to bring out the best in her but we can already see is coming on to be a brilliant allrounder.

Pru is our newest addition to the yard, our 7 month old Cocker Spaniel puppy. She has taken to yard life so well we are all in love.
