Young riders and schools

From four years old, up

We work closely with Bromley and Lewisham Councils and offer rides and riding lessons for school groups, including children with special needs.

Children

We offer riding lessons for all abilities and take students from the age of 4. Our friendly, experienced staff offer an enjoyable riding experience for novice riders, nervous riders, intermediate riders and confident, seasoned riders.

A first lesson is usually a 30 minute private, so your child has an instructor to themselves while they get used to the pony. After that, most join a group lesson at the weekend with riders of a similar age and level. See lessons and prices.

Schools and groups

We work closely with Bromley and Lewisham Councils and offer rides and riding lessons for school groups, including children with special needs.

Group visits are arranged directly with the office. Tell us the number of children, ages, any additional needs and the dates you have in mind, and we will build the session around them. Send an enquiry or call 020 8857 3003, monday to friday, 9am to 5pm.

Half term

During half term breaks we usually have a range of special events on offer, including pole work lessons, jumping lessons, pamper a pony mornings, guided hack style rides through our fields, and more. The event schedule is different every time; follow us on social media to stay up to date.
