Hala Sportowa Umiastow

A great riding school for children and adults. The lessons take place in a wonderful atmosphere - the instructors are highly qualified and dedicated (they offer valuable advice and are patient even with less talented students). At the school, you can learn riding, but also horse care and equipment maintenance. PZJ certification also guarantees the highest standard of instruction (indeed, few schools have such a high level of certification). A variety of spaces (hall, arenas, lungeing arenas) provide various learning opportunities, regardless of the season. The school is a center where, in addition to a traditional riding school, there are also stables for private horses, a cavalry club (historical reenactment), and summer schools are also organized. The prices are attractive (below Warsaw's average), and access to the school, which is effectively a suburb (thanks to its location near a motorway junction), is convenient from any point in Warsaw.

The club is located in a quiet spot. At the picnic on September 3rd, despite the organizer's assurances (poster, Facebook), three-quarters of the attractions were not held. All attention was focused on the competition and the competitors. It's a shame, because it promised to be an interesting outdoor event.

I'm surprised by the positive reviews about this club. Uninterested, know-it-all trainers, constantly checking their phones during training due to fatigue. 30-minute classes with a watch in hand. 5-7 minutes of saddle fitting, 10 minutes of warm-up, 5-10 minutes of active training, and finally, riding in circles. A "well-rounded" child, after six months of regular training, learned almost nothing new from these classes. Trouble keeping up with homework. Insufficient cleanliness in the stables, especially in the common areas. And practicing near power poles with high-voltage lines was uncomfortable for us. We won't be back.

I called with question if they need workers, they said yes, but they would call back next day. Nobody called back. I called again in few days and woman told that they did not need workers. Also, when I asked how much the training costs, she told that there is no empty seats. Bad service.
