Award-winning riding school in Surrey countryside with four outdoor arenas, miles of bridlepath, and horses from 8hh to 17.3hh. Welcomes complete beginners through advanced riders of all ages, including those with special needs.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families who want riding instruction built on ethical horse welfare, from complete beginners to experienced riders. Children and adults learn side by side, and the varied hacking routes - with opportunities for cantering - reward returning riders. Open Days are a practical starting point for families new to the centre.

“I’ve been coming to Kingsmead for about six months now and it’s been the perfect place to restart my riding journey. The hacking routes are beautiful and varied and there’s normally a chance for a few good canters. I’ve only done a handful of lessons, but have learned so much in all of them. Most importantly, the staff are all lovely and the horses are clearly happy and well looked after. Living in London, the riding options are fairly limited so I’m so happy to have found Kingsmead!”

“Kingsmead is literally my favourite place, the horses are very sweet and you can tell they are looked after so well. The instructors are very knowledgable and they always do their best to accommodate all levels of riders. I’ve learnt loads about horses since coming here and not just riding! Being able to volunteer and spend time with them is the best thing about it ❤️”
