Book online →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.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
