“My first experience of the Merrie Stud was as a child having riding lessons with Mrs Shaw. Twenty five years later when looking for a riding school for our three children the Merrie Stud was an easy choice. We knew we could rely on it being a fun, safe and reliable place for our children to learn not only the techniques of riding, but pony care and stable management. Mrs Shaw and Carolyn make an excellent team.”

“I love going to Merrie Stud for my riding lessons because even though I am sometimes nervous, I always feel comfortable and confident with Mrs Shaw and her ponies (especially Masterman)”

“I do love Mrs Shaw and Carolyn and I love the horse called Buddy”
