About this yard

One of the more comprehensively equipped riding schools in north London, running seven days a week from Clay Hill with an indoor arena and two outdoor arenas, all three floodlit, so evening sessions are not at the mercy of short winter days. Excellent woodland riding is available year-round, with cross country schooling added in summer. The school covers all levels from beginners through to a competitive team that competes in showjumping, dressage, eventing and pony racing on riding school horses, which keeps the entry barrier lower than many competition yards. ABRS-approved.
