    My ride with them was the highlight of my visit to London. The horses are very well kept and safe. They also are the best trained "trail" horses I have ever been on. I am a seasoned rider and enjoyed their 3 quality gates and transitions!! You can tell these horses are well cared for a training rides are had on them often to keep them sharp! The only negative was I had so much fun I didn't want it to be over at the end! We rode through the park which was lovely and learned about the Queen's cavalry! My tour guide was amazing too. This is a MUST DO if you like horses and are in London. Horses were very beginner friendly, making it fun for any ages and riding levels.

    You keep pinching yourself, wondering how in the heck in this modern city, you could have the opportunity to be riding a horse.

    This is another valued addition to the quirkiness of the Leabridge road, where E5's urban dystopia…read moreturns visibly to countryside in a matter of yards. Driving up the long approach road between swaying beech trees and neighing mares, you would be forgiven for thinking you were somewhere near Newmarket. The illusion of rural calm continues inside as horses are hay-strewn stable to training yard and back again by their capable human minders. There are classes here to suit every level of ability from haven't-even-patted-a-donkey up to advanced. For the huntsman extraordinaire, there is the opportunity to have a free session with one of the better mounts. The price for all this is predictably high, in some cases as much as £30 for a group lesson of one hour. Presumably, the amount of feed needed to keep the three dozen four-legged-friends healthy along with exhorbitant insurance rates do not help matters in this regard. I have another reason to visit now though in the form of recently discovered hidden treasure around the back of the riding centre: about three tons of vintage, dark brown, crumbly horse manure - free to take away (bring your own sacks) and perfect for the budding guerilla gardener.

    A fairly decent place for trying horse riding, or for a first few lessons when moving to London…read more Let me explain... Lee Valley Riding Centre is part of a community/council sports projects (ice ring, football pitches) and as such is perfectly organised: health and safety, open to the wider public, accessible by public transport, standardised teaching. It doesn't get much safer for beginners, or easier for seasoned riders. Excellent for children too. But it's also victim of it' success, with lessons booked WELL in advance (count several days to a couple of weeks), no access to open spaces for hacks, and bored to death horses. To be fair some are quite decent, but the real sport horses are privately owned, here on livery only. You'll want to find a "sharper" club or center soon, but don't be afraid to give this one a go first.

    We decided to take advantage of the sweet disposition of a sunny day, and take a quick trip 30+…read moremiles south of London, to go horseback riding- and what a pleasant trip it turned out to be! Firstly, Haywards Heath is such a quaint, classic, and unique country town. Quite removed from the tangible hustle and bustle of central London, it is such a nice escape. After a bus ride from the train station, and a nice walk up the road, we reached East View, where we met the lovely Mrs. Edna, who has been riding horses for 45 years. Though we hadn't booked in advance, she was quick to accommodate us for a late afternoon ride. We are novices, so we elected to take on the private woodland farm ride (£25 per person, for 1 hour). We saddled up, strapped on helmets (loaned to us by East View), and strode along just a portion of the wide expanse of land owned by Mrs. Edna. Our guide, Kathy (horse ranger for East View for 35 years), led us just a tad down the road, across a beautiful bit of green pasture, through beautiful flowers in bloom, and through a bit of woodland with varying terrain (much more exciting than an even terrain ride)-- and she taught us how to trot along the way (my very first time trotting!!)! Not to mention, Kathy was very patient and attentive during the tour of the farm, making sure not to lead to fast, making sure we held proper hold of the reins... The horses themselves were simply marvelous-- very well-mannered animals. You can tell they are healthy, happy animals-- of course this speaks to the kindness, passion, and dedication of East View's staff. I cannot wait to return!

    Owning and keeping a pony or a horse is an extremely time consuming and expensive business. Even if…read moreyou have enough land, vet bills and food costs can be sky-high. This riding centre is situated in the beautiful surroundings of Ashdown Forrest where there is miles and miles of bridal paths and open countryside to take one of their nice natured horses for a trot. All rides are accompanied by a friendly and experienced rider who will be happy to tell you how to sit in the saddle the correct way. For as little as £10 for a 30 minute ride, this has to be a fantastic alternative to living the equestrian dream.

I have brought my friends along for semi private lesson and also group lessons, its perfect. Price: Now i don't know much (as I'm just starting) £25 for a group lesson, full hour on the horse and £27.50 for semi private - pretty good I'd say! Stables: Inside and outside! Cons: Cash/cheque only - And far away from cashpoints In the middle: I had some good and some ok instructors - but not hugely great at teaching points and interacting with what you are doing - as a swimming teacher in the past I felt like they could engage more with the process - use more analagies - give you correct or incorrect. But really felt like they just were going through the motions - enthusiastic - but didn't feel like teachers - more instructors - do this, do that, go here etc, but really friendly. As an entirely inexperience rider I can't comment on a lot of other things

Take part in lessons as a group or pay a little more for a private session (45 mins is the normal lesson duration) and the teachers are all patient and helpful. If you fancy giving riding a try but you have never ridden before, don't worry about getting a hat or boots as they can provide these for you free of charge if necessary.

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!

    From the owner: Woodruffe Stables is a family owned business and is managed on a day to day basis by Zoe and David…read moreBrooks. We have a reputation for providing a professional service, combining our love of horses and with an appreciation of what horse owners want. Zoe and her team offer a tailored service to meet horse and owner requirements. With staff on site 24/7, you can be sure that your horse will receive the very best care and attention. Zoe's love of horses began at the local city farm. From then, she has managed and run several yards from livery to an international show jumping yard, taking horses around Europe to compete. She has a BSc in Equine Management from UWE Hartpury College. From this, Zoe has brought the high standards of care from competition yards into the livery yard at Woodruffe. At Woodruffe we provide high quality facilities for horses and owners 365 days of the year. There is onsite hacking , a new waxed sand floodlit 60 x 20m arena with mirrors and a sand and fibre school for jumping also with floodlights . There is a six horse walker. Horses enjoy year-round turnout ( no herds) on well-draining post and electric fenced fields. There is also a small restricted pen which is ideal for those coming back from injury. We hold regular clinics at weekends with something for everyone. We are very lucky at Woodruffe to have superb hacking country on the doorstep, with very little roadwork. Epsom Downs are only five minutes away, with Headley and Walton Heath nearby too .
