Charity riding centre in west London offering lessons, vaulting (gymnastics on horseback), and Riding for the Disabled programs. Serves all ages including children with special needs and neurodivergent learners.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families wanting more than casual pony rides - particularly neurodivergent children who respond well to direct, structured coaching. The Thursday vaulting sessions are the standout draw; kids leave physically tired and genuinely proud. A hidden local gem that longtime residents often discover only by chance.

“We have only gone for a few weeks but it’s amazing. You can talk to anyone and go and pet the horses . The coach is really good firm with the kids and is teaching them to be gentle with the horses and putting the animals first. We have known the coach for a long time before coming here . She is firm because she cares for the kids safety and for the horses . You need to know you are doing if your going to be training with horses .. that’s why your here to train !! Thank you for a great experience and giving us your time and effort !”

“I have recently been taking my daughter here and she is simply over the moon that she is able to take riding lessons at such a wonderful stable and so close to home! This sanctuary has been a highlight of our community and we have made so many new connections and friends through the shared love of horses ! Would definitely recommend this centre to everyone.”

“Thursday night vaulting class rocks. Coach is an absolute star. First female coach i have met who coaches like my son’s football coach. She’s direct and confident and in turn my kids are too. Both my kids are neurodivergent and i know are a handful. After vaulting kids are tired and happy. As a Mother its nice for once my kids are accepted and welcome.”
