Vauxhall City Farm is a little oasis in the centre of London. It is a charity which aims to give city kids a glimpse into the countryside, by giving them the opportunity to look after a wide range of animals – rabbits, cows, pigs, chickens and even a couple of alpacas! They also have ponies of course, currently five of them, and a flood-lit outdoor arena. The farm is located in Spring Gardens, about two minutes walk from Vauxhall tube and railway station and about 20 minute walk from Westminster. Its a very welcoming, friendly place, where you not only get to ride, but also to help groom your horse and other stable activities. Why not take the whole family along to ride and look at the animals! Vauxhall City Farm relies very much on volunteers, and we have built up a good relationship with them - some of our members like it so much they volunteer to help out! By riding at Vauxhall we help to support a charity who do great work for the community. Vauxhall have 6 horses/ponies suitable for our members. They are very well behaved – they are also used for RDA riders, so are safe to ride for beginners. They are well educated, and so are fun rides for intermediate riders too. Because of the size of the horse, there is a maximum weight limit of 11.5 stone for beginners and 12 stone for more experienced riders.

Price: £28 for a 45 min group lesson (2-3 people) or for a 30 min private lesson. All lessons are flat lessons. Interested in riding at Vauxhall?
