London Has Plenty to Offer for Horse Lovers

We expect to see a horse I the London city only when a mounted police officer passes on it. Justly, the busy and crowded nature of the metropolitan is to be blamed. However, you might be surprised to know that there are some excellent stables and riding schools which offers horse riding in north London. If you are a horse enthusiast, you wouldn’t want to miss these, as a Londoner or as a visitor during your sojourn.

You can also enjoy the London International Horse show which takes place annually. It is a very prestigious event for horse lovers. You shouldn’t miss the super hit national theatre play, War Horse. Finally, you can always pay a visit to the royal ascot meeting, during a summer trip to London, which is only a little drive away from the city.

Whether you are a complete beginner to horse riding or someone with expert level skill and experience, London has something to offer to every horse lover. You can easily access the Hyde Park stables, which is the most well-known stable of London. It is near the Paddington railway station, on the northern side. Visitors can travel on horseback and pass through Rotten Row, the most cherished destination, better to say the equestrian capital of England. For three hundred years or more, this is where every horse lover comes whenever they are in London. This place is so idyllic that you wouldn’t believe that it exists right in the middle of a busy metropolitan, if you have not seen it before. Riders with different levels of riding skills can find something for themselves. From getting a fun family outing to lessons for a budding professional horse rider, you can find the just perfect exercise here.

There are two more side by side stables for you to explore, which are not far from the Hyde Park stable. Wimbledon village stables and Ridgway stables are found at the very edge of the Wimbledon Common. These stables are not far from what makes Wimbledon famous, the All England Tennis Club. Wimbledon Common is just another fine place to roam around on horseback. You can hire ponies, as well as horses, to accommodate the whole family. You can make it a day affair by opting for the two hour hacks, which Wimbledon village stables offer. It goes via Wimbledon Commons and ends in the Richmond Park. This whole area is so green that you will forget that you are well inside London.
