Kingston Riding Centre


If your child is new to riding, Kingston Riding Centre can offer a number of different options which can introduce your child to the joy of riding in a safe but fun manner.

For very young children we can offer Pony Rides into Richmond Park. These can be for 30 or 45 minutes and your child will ride one of our smaller shetland ponies. The bridle of the pony is held by one of our instructors at all times and the ride can either be fun or more instructional depending upon age and previous experience. The ideal age for Pony Rides to start is two and a half.

The next stage on from Pony Rides is Lead Rein Lessons. These are more formal lessons held in the outdoor arena under close bridle contact with the instructor and your child will start to learn very quicky how to control the horse. They will learn how to start and stop and also how to use the reins and their feet to steer the horse in the desired direction. They will also learn how to balance in the saddle through fun exercises such as riding backwards, walking without stirrups and “round-the-world” where they turn round in the saddle whilst the pony is stationary. The ideal age for Lead Rein lessons to start is five.

The next stage up from Lead Rein Lessons is Flat Lessons. These will generally start out on a lunge line, where the rider and pony are some distance from the instructor but connected by the lunge lead. This allows a greater degree of control for the rider through the various gaits and canter can be introduced at this stage depending upon the child’s abilities and confidence. This is based upon an assessment with one of our senior instructors.
