Riding around London

[domini]

Hi Guys wondering if you could help! Just moved to London and finding somewhere to ride it proving more difficult than expected. Looking for somewhere that focuses mainly on dressage (Elem upwards) in/around London. I don't mind travelling but must be easily accessible by public transport. Help is much appreciated

Contessa in Hertfordshire has some really nice dressage horses you can have lessons on, not sure if you can get there without a car though.

Hey, I am a member of a club called The Riding Club London, which i have found excellent for helping me find quality horses and lessons in london or just outside by train, their website is www.ridinglondon.com I get a discount for my private lessons at Oldencraig as i am a member but there are also some other yards i ride at that are really good for dressage lessons and clinics that they run just for members.

If North London then Try South Medburn Farm or Trent Park

Try Minette Rice-Edwards at Ham House Stables. Hyde Park will do hacks, but not dressage!

Don't bother with trent park, its over priced and over busy, Contessa is the way to go if you can.

Depends what time of day you want to ride. I say that as a past client/livery/staff

Weekends are busy. Weekdays are usually quiet and steady (unless its the summer holidays). Evenings can be very quiet, but often 7.30-8.30pm lessons a couple of times in the week is for riding club members.
