What our clients say:
"Alice has helped me with my horses from young 3 and 4yo horses through to high level. So far with a strike rate of 3/3 getting to Grand Prix, now just starting with my 4th horse who is a 5yo. Alice has such a good eye and fine tunes the work I do with my horses. She is also prepared to hop on if you are having a particular problem. Alice a approachable and we can talk through the horses work and any challenges we are coming up against. When I’ve had young horses she’s given me the confidence to move on with their work. She is so experienced and confident with the horses with numerous approaches should you get stuck or the horse is not fully understanding how you are training something. She has always supported me as a competitor" J. Morris
"I sent Cynheidrefaw Creme de la Creme (Puff to his friends!) to Alice, where she has taken him from elementary to PSG (working inter 1 at home) her attention to detail in his training and general care are second to none. I run a small but busy stud and showing yard and therefore do not get see puff as often as I would like but rest easy knowing he is in the best possible hands! Thank you Alice I would recommend you 10 times over" H. Lomas
"Working along side the team at AP Equestrian has been amazing! The horses are lovely and well schooled, the staff are supportive and work very hard! Highly recommend yard for horse schooling, sales and training" - B. Harris
"We joined AP Equestrian just over 2 weeks ago and are amazed already how settled Custard, our pony, is - can’t believe the difference in his fitness level and his demeanour. Alice, Ian and their team are extremely professional, friendly and nothing is too much trouble, even at late notice. Really pleased." - R. Dunlop
"Stabled here over night on route to an event. Excellent facilities and staff. There is such an air of calm and serenity and every single horse was so happy. Highly recommended" - S. Newton
"I’ve been at AP Equestrian for a year now and it has flown by - it leaves all the other yards I’ve been on way behind! The staff are lovely, facilities to DIE FOR and the vibe on the yard is calm, peaceful and organised. Several times I’ve got to the yard and my horse has been done because they “didn’t want to leave him out”! Since Archie has had surgery and then a tendon injury Alice and Ian and all the team have been so helpful and accommodating. It feels like I’ve always been here the fact I feel so welcome, but then it still feels like a dream being on such a wonderful dressage yard. Thank you AP and the team for a lovely yard xxx" - S. Key
"Alice Peternell has done a brilliant job training my youngster. I keep her on full livery and she has 5* care. She has just started competing and has won her BD Prelim class in each of three outings, with scores of 70%. It's a great yard with lots going on. Alice can help anyone - whether you have a youngster who needs to start from scratch or a serious competitor in any field - dressage, eventing or someone who rides for fun... This yard has all the facilities you would want." - C.Everson
"I recently had a new horse on full livery with AP Equestrian while I was waiting for a space at my usual yard. The service was fantastic, friendly knowledgeable staff who couldn’t do enough to make me and my horse welcome. The stable was ready for us on arrival with only 1/2 an hours notice. They took care of everything her feeds twice a day, fresh bedding and as much haylage as my girl could eat several times a day. Her rugs were changed and added as necessary for night time. They ensured she got out on the horse walker and turnout without me needing to ask. When I could be there, the facilities for horses hot and cold showers and for humans kitchen and toilets were handy and clean. There are several areas to lunge your horse a great outdoor school and huge indoor arena all readily available. Though busy herself Alice was always happy to offer advice and even fitted in a lesson and schooling for my horse at short notice. Thoroughly recommended." - E. Curry
"Fantastic yard very well run, friendly and easy to understand instruction to a high standard definitely recommend AP equestrian !" - C. Trezise
"Although I don't compete, I've got a real passion for training and learning. Every single lesson I've had with Alice has improved my knowledge and understanding. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She really is a wealth of knowledge and endlessly patient." J. Davie
