Hi,


I would take informations about the possibility to do horse-riding (pony indeed) for my 3yrs old .


Daddy bring him to Ruggerbeez class (but had to stop it for this term)...and I would love to offer him to possibility to discover my passion , especially as he is an animals/pets lover like me, and always ask to see the horses my parents have close to their house, asking to climb on them and give them carrots...


Do you know if I can find somewhere not too far from Dulwich? Do I have to go in Kent?


You can Pm me if you want.


Thanks in advance for your help!

Ohh, I would be interested in finding out as well as my 3 year old wants to go.


When we went to the stables on the South Circular this past summer they weren't doing lessons for 3 year olds but said it was a possibility depending on insurance costs.

Not exactly ED, and I have no experience of any of these, they are just a few I am aware of from driving past or hearing about:


Mudchute City Farm if you can get to the DLR, but it says from 7 years http://www.mudchute.org/equestrian-centre


http://www.mudchute.org/equestrian-centre opposite Eltham College looks really nice


www.willowtreeridinglondon.co.uk/ in Lee takes children from 4 years old.

I think Willowtree just beyond Lewisham is the best place for pony riding. Lots of young children ride there; I don't know if they'll take a child as young as three but it is definitely worth asking. When I went years ago the teaching was exceptional- its at Ronver Road London SE12 0NL

Thanks a lot for your informations!!


I've called Dulwich stabled but they start only at 6yrs...probably they don't have shetland pony, pony breed to start at the youngest age .


I'll explore the others suggestions you've nicely gave to me on that thread.

If I find something great, I'll let know!

Hi


Dulwich stables do have a Shetland, he's a lovely, furry, obstinate creature called Hoobie. They used to do 'pony rides' as opposed to lessons for really young ones, but i think stopped a while back. When I was looking for my 5 year old a few years back found nowhere that would take them that young, so we waited till 6 and she started at Dulwich which was fine, then switched to Mudchute on I of Dogs, which was truly excellent. Think 3 is a bit young really for proper lessons. Used to take my daughter for regular donkey rides on Blackheath to keep her interest up till formal lessons could start. Good luck

Many years ago, I used to teach novice riding classes and lead hacks, and the youngest we could take was 4 years old for lessons or 5 years old for hacks. This was due to insurance.


The stable had no ponies. All cildren started on horses. It's a common misconception that children need to start on ponies. Many ponies indeed are stubborn foul-tempered little creatures (you probably would be too if children bounced around on your back all day!). A calm, well-schooled horse is just fine, even for young novice riders.


Happy hacking! xx

I keep noticing a small paddock on the left side of the train tracks on the vic-peckham rye train somewhere between Brixton and Denmark Hill - not massively helpful as I don't know the exact location, name etc. but if you get that train in the evenings and peer out you'll notice as its v well lit and right by the tracks...

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
