Exclusively for members, our arena lessons offer the perfect opportunity to connect with your horse and refine your riding in a focused, supportive environment.    Held in one of our two all-weather arenas at the heart of Wimbledon Common, lessons are conducted with riders of similar ability and ambition, while your instructor ensures personalised guidance throughout. Each session includes a ride to and from the arena, providing a gentle warm-up before the lesson and a relaxing cool-down afterwards, with time to enjoy the company of your instructor and fellow members. (Session time includes both the ride to and from the arena.)

This is a great opportunity to combine all of the learning opportunities of a lesson in the stunning surroundings of a hack. Your Instructor will train you while hacking to help improve your control. This is a challenging, but enjoyable, alternative to ring lessons – engaging your horse’s attention on the track is much more demanding than it is in the arena! You might also find that outside the arena, you learn differently too. You may be more relaxed, or notice different things about your horse’s way of going. You will learn about distances, control, independent working, changing pace and tempo and much, much more. 

In your one-hour private lesson, you will work closely with a dedicated instructor, with the session tailored specifically to your skills, goals, and ambitions. Conducted on the tracks, these lessons are ideal for riders seeking to build confidence, refine technique, or focus on particular areas of improvement.

Whether you wish to work on a specific skill, perfect your riding, or accelerate your progress, your instructor will provide personalised guidance to help you achieve your objectives in a supportive and effective environment.

Horse riding in Richmond ParkFor a change of scene why not combine the sheltered wooded tracks of Wimbledon Common with the wide-open space of Richmond Park and book a two hour ride? Experienced riders can join a small group or you can book to go privately or semi-privately if you wish. These rides are available on weekdays only.

Our two-hour lessons offer an extended and rewarding riding experience, combining focused arena work with time in the open. Each session includes approximately one hour of dedicated instruction in the arena, with a relaxed warm-up on the way there and a gentle cool-down on the return ride.

This format allows riders to develop a balanced, effective, and confident seat, while giving instructors the time to focus on specific areas of improvement with personalised guidance. Ideal for more experienced riders, these lessons provide the opportunity to refine technique, work towards higher-level goals, or progress through Preliminary or Novice dressage tests, all within a more immersive and enjoyable session.

Two hour lesson times:
10.15 Tuesday – Friday

Our on-site EQUICISE horse simulator is available to members at a special rate of £99 for three half-hour sessions. When the simulator is free, members may also use it for self-practice sessions, providing a flexible and safe way to develop riding skills at their own pace.

The Equicise studio is also equipped with gym equipment, offering the opportunity to warm up or stretch before and after your ride, subject to studio availability. This makes it an ideal space to complement your riding, improve fitness, and enhance overall performance.
