Why Us?
Horse riding lessons, courses and hacking in London
We are a family run riding stable in the exclusive heart of Wimbledon Village, London SW19, just a tennis ball’s throw from the historic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, home of the world famous Wimbledon Tennis Championships and London 2012 Olympic venue. Only eight miles from the centre of London, we are conveniently placed within walking distance of both tube and mainline services and directly on several bus routes. Wimbledon Common is a beautiful suburban oasis; its 1,100 acres feature miles of well-maintained riding tracks through stunning woodland and grassy open spaces and link up with the 2,500 acres of historic Richmond Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
We have the ultimate endorsement of being both British Horse Society (BHS) and Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) approved. We were recently honoured with a second Certificate of Excellence from the BHS and, in recognition of our dedication to providing the very best in customer care, we recently won Best Business of Hospitality and Leisure at the South London Business Awards 2012 and also Merton Business Awards 2012.
