Wimbledon Common has 1,100 acres of beautiful countryside .......

..........with miles of well maintained rides.......

...... featuring glorious woodland rides through secluded areas full of natural wildlife

....... stopping at the water trough by the historic Windmill.

Wimbledon Common directly connects to the 2,700 acres of Richmond Park  and Ham Common.
  It is an area of outstanding natural beauty ........

...... grazed by herds of wild deer, giving riders the opportunity from time to time to ride "off tracks" ...........

 ........and you can even visit Pen Ponds on a warm summer's day.

Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park....

offer some of the best scenic riding in England -
 you won't believe you are so close to the City!

Our hacks are for experienced riders only.

Should you wish to improve your skills, we have expert qualified instructors to help you achieve your goals.
  Lessons take place in the schooling ring in the heart of the Common.

Private lessons are available for those wanting more specialised instruction.

In addition, we run a range of Special weekday Short Courses that cater
 for all ranges of ability which have proved to be very popular.

Beginners and novice riders are taught on the tracks, with a private instructor
either leading them or riding beside them if they are able to ride off the lead rein.

We also organise regular lectures and demonstrations for those keen to learn.
 

After your ride  you can enjoy a cold drink and a friendly welcome
 from the Dog and Fox  or Brewery Tap.......

.......or relax in one of the many coffee shops or restaurants in the Village

.At Christmas we hold a magical Carol Concert in the Stable Yard.

Wimbledon Village Stables operates a unique Membership Scheme

Member's Events
 

Our Annual Charity Ball in March is held at the Cannizaro Hotel.  It is a fabulous evening and a great opportunity for everybody to meet up and let their hair down. Our spectacular raffle always raises thousands of pounds for the Royal Marsden Hospital.

After the Ball another fun social evening where Members have the opportunity to test their equestrian
knowledge at our Annual  Pub Quiz night

Our Annual Summer Show in aid of the Wimbledon Guild takes place in June on the Common by Rushmere Pond.  There are Jumping and Showing classes for all levels.  It is a great day out and Members who are not competing can come along on the day and help out.  After the show there's a chance to unwind back at the yard with a beer (or wine!) and a burger!

During the show the Instructors perform their Musical Ride.  We also hold another Musical ride in December for Members and liveries.

At the end of the Summer we hold our Member's Horse Show.  There are showing and jumping classes and a special prize for the Champion of the Day.

Our Awards Party at the end of September is a chance for everyone to meet up again after the long Summer Holidays.       

Our Annual Sponsored Ride takes place on two separate days in October and it gives Members the opportunity to participate in an enjoyable charity event which raises money for the Royal Marsden Hospital.  Last year our riders were sponsored over  £20,000 to complete the 10 mile ride over Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park.  There are several free competitions and,  if you want to, you can even take part wearing fancy dress!

We are a friendly, lively yard with a wealth of experience in developing the skills of both the capable rider and the novice.  Riders who simply ride to have fun and relax are as important to us as those determined to improve and compete.  Each and every client is treated as an individual and our own special 'community' is enriched by people of all abilities, from all walks of life, with one thing in common - a love of horses and riding.     

Thank you for looking through the photographs. You can see more on our Facebook Page 

Now please look at the  What's On at WVS  page to see some of the events we have planned for the coming months.
