THE BARRACKS

Thanks to the kindness of the Household Cavalry and the efforts of our instructor Janet Barnard-Brown, the Club has been able to use the Cavalry horses for dressage lessons since September 2003.  We are the only riding club to enjoy this privilege weekly!

Lessons are only available for intermediate to advanced riders as the Cavalry horses are not suitable for beginner and novice riders. You also need to be a confident and bold rider as we cannot choose which horses we are allocated and they vary from week to week.  For safety reasons we have to be confident of members’ ability, so before you can ride here you will need to be assessed for suitability. We would also advise you to come and watch a lesson first.  If you wish to arrange any of this or would like further information please email the club.

Lessons are on Tuesdays at 6.30 pm and 7.30 pm at a price of £27.50 per hour.  These are group lessons with a maximum of 5 horses.

Directions: Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, London SW7 1SE, Knightsbridge tube station, Piccadilly Line (using the Harvey Nichols’ exit) or the 52 bus from Victoria stops at Scotch Corner, almost outside the Barracks.  Street parking is available, but difficult.
