Wimbledon Village Stables specialises in providing Training and Courses for both Members and Non-Members.

We hold a series of Short Riding Courses for riders of all abilities.  A short course can be the perfect introduction to the challenging and rewarding world of riding or, for those who have ridden before, a great way to build on experience already gained. 

Whether you’re a beginner, a recreational rider or an aspiring professional, Wimbledon Village Stables has a Riding Course to suit you.  Our team of friendly, professional instructors and quality, well-mannered horses will make it an unforgettable equine experience.

If you want to learn more about the care and welfare of horses, take a look at  our evening Horse Care and Stable Management Courses which take place throughout  the year

In addition, we regularly hold free lectures and demonstrations for our Members which cover a wide variety of topics in riding and horse care. You will find details of all the future events that we are holding on this page.

For those who would like more personalised and intensive instruction we are able to provide private horse care and stable management lessons from Tuesday through to Sunday (including evenings) and the charge is £30 an hour  for Members (£40 for non-members).

And finally if you would like the opportunity to put into practice or test your new-found knowledge and skills we offer a full programme of events and activities for our riders.  We can help if you want to work towards BHS Examinations or our own Achievement Awards or you may like to take part in one of our Dressage Competitions, Jumping Competitions or Members Shows.   There is also our very popular Annual Equestrian Pub Quiz Night which is a fun and educational social event. 

See the What's on section for full information.
