A riding school which opened earlier this year had to close after just six months due to loss of premises.

Bicester Riding School needs help and is appealing for someone to come forward with stables and a grazing area that is not in use.

Teresa Noakes, who set up the school in April, has 80 very disappointed girls and boys who now have nowhere to ride.

Ms Noakes' pupils are aged between four and 74-years-old.

She said: "Both my students and I are having a really rough time of it at the moment and we cannot find anywhere for us to ride."

The riding instructor, from Piddington, near Bicester, moved in to the premises in Upper Panshill Farm in Buckinghamshire, earlier this year, but after just six months, was told by the landlord to leave because the horses were killing the grass at the farm.

The 48-year-old was left with no choice but to close the school on October 23.
