A fantastic livery yard. I've kept my horse here for 6 months and couldn't be happier with how well…read morehe is looking and doing. The facilities are fantastic with two outdoor schools, one for dressage the other for jumping, a jumping paddock, a half mile gallop track and a horsewalker as well as fantastic hacking on the epsom downs. Horses get turned out in the fields 365 days a year. The yard just has a great atmosphere, everyone being really friendly and there's always lots going on with plenty of people around. The staff are all very helpful, always on hand if you have a problem, no matter how big or small it is. The yard is very professional and many of the liveries compete to a high level. I have really benefited from the great tuition available and am now also much more confident taking my horse to shows. There are also often clinics with professional riders at the yard. The location of the stables is ideal as there are many show centers nearby, as well as the clear round show jumping which takes place at the yard on a weekly basis in the summer months. You can choose between part or full livery and the prices are very reasonable. I went traveling for 2 months so left my horse completely to their care. I was a bit worried about this since I'm usually down there every day, but when I came back he looked better than ever before. If anything it was depressing that they got him going better than I could! I can't recommend this yard enough, both myself and my horse are very happy here!

SO MUCH FUN! I'm an…read moreintermediate rider, comfortable at the walk, trot and canter. I booked a private hack in hopes that I'd be able to canter through Hyde Park and, wow, I was not disappointed! The Stables cater to all levels. Never ridden a horse before? You can try it in Hyde Park. Your kid wants a pony ride? They do that too. Want to canter for miles and put a big grin on your face? That was me! I arrived a bit later than expected because the alleyway to the stables was hard to find. Ross Nye and Hyde Stables are next door to each other so be sure to check you're at the right place too. When I arrived, all the horses were tacked up and ready to go. And, for us travelers, they have plenty of helmets and boots (in fair shape) to borrow. No need to use up that precious luggage space. I hopped on and we were immediately off to the Park! I'm really glad I booked a private hack and would recommend you do too. While I have a few years experience riding, another rider had none at all. My "guide," Annie was lovely! She was very knowledgeable about the Park, pointing out sites and fountains and had tidbits of information about everything (even the French from which "Rotten Row" was translated). And, once she knew I could keep up, we cantered all over the Park! I was thrilled. She was also very conscientious of safety, flagging down traffic so we could cross busy London streets and to stopping our canter set when an oblivious little girl wandered across our path. My horse, Clifton, was fantastic! He had an unexpectedly lofty, bouncy gait and was unphased by anything around us. I wish I could have brought him home. Most importantly, the horses were well cared for. I was told they had 16 horses at the London stables. And, when the horses show signs of being overwhelmed with city life, they are given time off in pastures in Chilworth. In fact, the barn shuts down at certain times of the year to rest all of the horses so inquire about your travel dates when you book. I can't recommend this place enough! No matter your riding experience, you'll have a fantastic time.

I tried several stables in Reading area and easily found this to be the best one…read more I've left the area now. They just seemed to get everything right despite not having lots of BHS logos blazen all over the place, and I later found out some of the staff are really qualified and experienced, but weren't interested in badges. yard looks a bit ramshackle, but they have a good and changing selection of interesting horses, good instructional training, nice yard and friendly staff. Very practical. And some of the best hacks in this country which was a total surprise as I wasn't expecting good hacking so close to a town. Top marks.

A great place to ride, whatever your standard. There's a wide choice of ponies and horses, several…read moreoutdoor schools and one very large indoor school, with hacking out available for the brave. However, what really sets this place apart is how friendly the staff and helpers are. Newcomers are made to feel as welcome as regulars. The choice of lesson type, day and duration is also flexible, which again, is a definite plus point. Children as young as 4 can join the Tots Trots weekend lessons, which gently introduces them to riding, while being more fun and less formal than regular instruction. Once you've found your feet, there are regular competitions and show days to take part in, with classes for all levels. They're reasonably informal too, which is encouraging for those who might not have competed before. Well worth a visit.

Really nice place. Belongs to a Lady Caroline Dent, a horse fan (but it's no business, more a club…read moreopen to the public). The essential is there, gear on loan, a club house with a small food joint...

Can be reached by bus from Northwood.

At littlebourne the horses were nice. The staff were alright but not over friendly, more interested in getting the money. The kids up there what help out, swore a lot and this is what put me off.

It is a small, friendly yard which is very professionally run by an extremely capable yard manager. She competes her own horse very successfully in dressage and is available for lessons and schooling, so is sure to rub off some of her knowledge and experience.

I had a great time riding Boris today, walked and trotted through Hyde Park with a lot of admirers on a Sunday morning. The stable isn't far from the park, and it was pretty easy to find. They have boots and helmets for those who don't have their own. There were lots of people on the schedule so I'm glad I booked ahead. Sophi was my lead and she held the lead rope while we were riding, more of a safety precaution for the horse and rider, especially for those who have never ridden and for newcomers. All of their horses are used to the hustle and bustle of the city so crossing busier streets with a lot of strangers, distractions, etc. was no problem for the horses. It's a bit pricey for an hour ride but it was worth it to say I rode in Hyde Park! I may ride again when I'm in London back next spring!

The best thing about this riding school must be the location. Only minutes ride away from Richmond…read morePark the hacking here is absolutely breathtaking. The tuition is also of a really high standard. The riding school is very large with horses and ponies to suit people of all ages and standards. You'll find everything here, from 4 year olds having leads out in the park to keen pony clubbers to professional show jumpers. The facilities are also great, with very large indoor and outdoor schools complete with jumps. The stable also regularly take clients to their cross country course on Wimbledon Common. There are group and individual lessons to choose from and a great variety of things to do. The staff are very professional and with so many different instructors there is sure to be someone to suit any rider.The only negative I can think of is that the prices are very high. However, with such a unique location that is understandable. The stable also has a few livery spaces available, however here the prices really are extremely high- personally I couldn't quite see that it was worth the cost and therefore had to move my horse further out of London. Anyone looking to ride in the London area should be sure to give this place a look!
