The Vauxhall City Farm Riding School is open.
As well as working with local schools to offer lessons to children and young people from disadvantaged and low-income backgrounds, we will also be offering a number of group riding lessons.
At Vauxhall City Farm we are committed to being the best we can, and are always listening to staff and customer feedback, which is why we’re pleased to announce that we will soon be changing the way that Riding Lessons are booked.
Our new system will be user friendly, and will make it much easier for our customers to make bookings and payments.
We’re still putting the finishing touches to our new booking system, so please bear with us while we make these changes – we promise it will be worth it in the end.
Please note that this means that our final six-week block will end on Sunday 2nd April. We will let you know what happens next very soon.
For more information on Riding Lessons, please call our office during working hours (Monday – Friday, 9.30am – 5pm) on 0207 582 4204.
All riders will need to complete a Rider Registration form before we can book them onto lesson spaces. If you wish to do this before calling, please click here to download the form, and return by email to: riding@vauxhallcityfarm.org.
Please note that due to the small size of our stables, we are currently only able to offer lessons to advanced adult riders, and beginners from age 8 upwards. Our current weight limit for riders is 13st. We are in the process of procuring more horses, and as we expand in size, so will the range of lessons and abilities we are able to cater for.
All lessons, both Riding and Stable Management, will cost £40.
