We aimed to make riding affordable, however horses are expensive!
We offer off peak* riding and group riding which can help keep costs lower, we also have regular clubs, riding experiences and woodland rides at very reasonable prices.
**peak = weekends / evenings **off peak = during school hours
Please help us to keep costs down by remembering to call us early should you need to cancel.
Fees for lessons which are cancelled in time will be returned to your ECPRO account.
Gift vouchers available for any equestrian activity these make ideal presents for all ages.
Please contact us on either 0208 657 0832 or email kingsmead_horses@btinternet.com to book.
When booking rides our intuitive system will only allow you to book activities that are suitable for your ability. If you have two riders of differing standards on your account you may find that not all activities are available to both riders.

Cancellation & late arrival policy
Same day cancellations have a negative impact on the business and ultimately drives fees up.
All lessons and hacks will be charge the full fee if cancelled on the day or if you fail to turn up. Please give us 24 hours notice to avoid losing your booking fee.
Late arrivals also have a negative impact on the smooth running of the yard by making planning of staff and horses difficult.
We would ask you to work closely with us and avoid being late or cancelling at short notice.
We ride in all weather and we can lend you water-proofs. We will transfer weekend riders to a horse care club or private stable management if you do not want to ride.
Please contact us if you will be late, where possible we will accommodate you although rides may be shortened. Lessons may be switched to another school or the lane. We reserved the right to cancel or alter your lesson if you are late and you will still be charged.
If you have a health condition which makes lateness or last minute cancellations more likely please inform the office.
Riding Experiences and Parties are to be paid for in advance. To cancel we require 48 hours notice. Your ride will be shortened if you arrive after the start time.
