What our customers say about us...

"Hi to everyone at Jill Carenza Equestrian, I just want to say thank you for a fantastic time - both me and my mum really enjoyed our ride out on Friday 4th March and had a very pleasant stay at the Vines B&B as well. This is something we will be looking to do again in a few months time, and we will certainly come back to you."

"Everyone enjoyed the weekend of riding up in the Cotswolds. We had lovely weather to match wonderful horses and our guides were excellent. My daughter couldn't stop talking about it all the way back on Sunday. I think a couple of people realised what was meant for forward going horses and that 4 hours in the saddle is a long time! However the port and chocolate biscuits were a welcome treat."

"Fantastic horses, superb instruction whether for dressage, show jumping or cross country and most importantly for me the friendliest, most supportive staff and other riders. Even though my journey is over an hour each way, I ride at Jill Carenza’s Equestrian Centre three times a week and only wish I could go more often!"

"Thank you very much for your hospitality and everything during my stay in your school. I enjoyed riding Humphrey for dressage, jumping and cross-county and I could brush up and improve my riding skills very much. Humphrey is a very good horse which is rare in Japanese horse riding schools. Your B&B is also very comfortable and the surrounding area is quiet, beautiful and peaceful!! I hope that I can visit your school with my family again in the near future."

"We were sorry that we missed you before leaving for the train. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at your stable and your B&B - the cottage next to the ring is perfect for horse lovers like us. And the riding . . . is simply amazing! Until next time. Happy trails!"

"Many thanks from Sophie & Lousia for Farm Park ride today! We had an amazing time on Hayley and Santa... We really enjoyed being responsible for ourselves as well, so very grateful you allowed us to go out unaccompanied. Thank you again Jill for all the encouragement & lessons to get me to this point. I am so happy I can't stop smiling -I know it's probably a small achievement for other people to do but this was HUGE for me and I couldn't have done it without lessons from you and Anna. Brilliant!"

"We are currently living in Australia and stayed with you last July at the B&B. Matilda never stops talking about her lessons on Moonshine. They were her 4th birthday present."

"Thank you so very much for a fabulous stay, everything was absolutely marvellous! The hack, the pub ride, "The Plough" (I'll never forget the local fresh asparagus), "The Winery", the breakfast (I had "whiskey porridge", yummy!). The first day I rode Santa who was great fun to ride. For the pub ride I had Paintbox, a good and steady horse doing everything you ask for, really nice. The staff was so nice, both around the horses and in the house."

"Dear All, my wife Natalie and I just wanted to say thank you for providing your wonderful horses for our use. I was very well looked after by Big Ed, and Natalie adored Hayley. Thank you all once again and we hope we'll see you again on our next trip."

"I wanted to send you a short note to say what a delightful time we all had during our stay at the Vine. Please send along our thanks to Ms. Carenza and her crew. The girls had a wonderful time and appear to have learned quite a bit from a riding standpoint. They were thrilled to have a chance to canter and make a small jump in the ring. We looked around the countryside when we weren't riding; we saw Warwick Castle, Sudeley Castle, the Broadway Tower, Gloucester Cathedral, Stratford, Stow and Snowshill. We dropped down to Stonehenge before driving to London. London weather was a little raw, but we got around fine on the subway. Much more crowded with tourists than the Cotswolds, of course. Thanks again for all your help."
