Stag Lodge Stables 2

Stag Lodge Stables 2 operates as a British Horse Society approved riding school on the edge of Richmond Park in Kingston upon Thames, London. Riders of all ages can take lessons on site, with instruction available to children from three years old through to adults. Beginners are welcome, alongside more experienced riders looking to develop their skills in dressage, hacking and show jumping. Sessions can be booked as private lessons or arranged through structured courses run at the school.

The school caters to younger riders through its Pony Squad and Pony Week courses, both of which run on a regular basis throughout the year. School holiday periods are covered with dedicated camps, and the stables host birthday parties that combine riding time with group activities. Older children and adults can join horse-care courses or progress through BHS courses delivered on the premises. Group hacks and private hacks take riders out into Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common, making use of the open space on the school's doorstep.

Facilities on site include an outdoor arena used for lessons, a horse walker for warming up and cooling down, and livery stables catering to full livery needs from two sites. A horsebox is available to hire for those transporting their own horses or travelling to competitions. The setting on the edge of Richmond Park gives riders direct access to some of the largest stretches of common land in London, which is a practical advantage for hacking and schooling work.

Opening hours run from Tuesday to Friday between 9am and 1pm, then again from 2pm to 6pm, with weekend hours from 8am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm. The school is closed on Mondays and Thursdays, though hours extend later during the summer months. Prices start from GBP 25 for a Pony Squad session booked on a termly weekend basis. The postcode for satnav users is SW15 3RS, and prospective riders are encouraged to contact the stables directly to book lessons or arrange livery.
