Friday Field Stables operates in Kent within the South East of England, providing a range of riding activities aimed at riders of all ages. The stables offers riding lessons alongside hacking, with disciplines centred on countryside hacking and pub hacks. Lessons are open to beginners, and children are particularly welcome, with pony laps available as a gentle introduction for younger riders.
A variety of lesson formats are available to suit different needs and budgets. Group lessons form the core of the programme, while drop-in taster lessons allow visitors to try riding without committing to a full course. Assessment lessons are offered for those wishing to gauge their ability before booking further sessions. School groups benefit from discounted rates, and teenagers have access to dedicated teen rides. Pony laps are priced from GBP 5, providing three laps for children, while drop-in taster sessions are GBP 18 per session.
Facilities at the stables include hat hire and wellies loan, removing the need for visitors to buy their own equipment before their first visit. Beyond standard lessons, the school runs a programme of holiday activities and holiday camps, giving children and teenagers structured time with the horses during school breaks. Leisure riders can take part in picnic rides and pub hacks, both of which make use of the surrounding countryside. Gift vouchers are available, and volunteering opportunities are offered for those who wish to get involved with the stables without riding.
Friday Field Stables is licensed by the London Borough of Redbridge. The stables is closed on Mondays, and enquiries can be made via WhatsApp between 9.30am and 5pm. Riders and visitors can also take advantage of the school's group bookings and seasonal programmes throughout the year.
