Boxhurst Farm is a family-run riding stables and hacking centre based in Pinner, operating within the woodland setting of Ruislip Woods. The yard keeps a hacking focus, with off-road riding through the surrounding woodland forming the core of what they offer alongside structured riding lessons.
Children and complete beginners are well catered for here. Lead-rein woodland pony rides give the youngest riders a chance to experience a horse in a calm, controlled setting, and woodland lessons build on this foundation. The school teaches beginners of all ages as well as more confident riders who want to make the most of the hacking routes. Birthday parties with pony riding are also available, making the venue a practical option for families looking for an outdoor celebration.
Facilities on site include a car park for visitors, helmet hire so that newcomers do not need to buy their own equipment before their first session, and a picnic area where families can spend time before or after riding. Beyond lessons and hacking, the centre runs pony days, training clinics with visiting instructors, and a livery service for horse owners wanting full or part-time care for their animals.
Boxhurst Farm holds a local-authority licensed riding establishment licence (number 018404/af227638) and is one of the few yards able to offer riding within Ruislip Woods. Prices start from GBP 19 for a 15-minute children's woodland experience pony ride. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 9:30 to 16:00, Friday closed, and Saturday and Sunday 9:30 to 16:00. Visitors are advised to contact the school directly to book and to confirm availability for specific activities.
