Ealing Riding School
About this yard
Ealing Riding School is located at 19 Gunnersbury Avenue in West London, close to Gunnersbury Park. The school operates from a walled site with three outdoor arenas, two recently resurfaced with modern all-weather material. Home to around 28 to 30 horses and ponies, it welcomes over 50,000 riders annually, making it one of the busiest community riding schools in the capital. The school is both BHS-approved and ABRS+ accredited and offers private, semi-private, and group lessons across four structured levels from novice to balanced rider, plus an advanced ERS Academy incorporating dressage, jumping, hacking, and expedition riding. Riding hats and boots are available to borrow free of charge for first-time visitors. Lessons start from age five. A holiday programme and residential riding holidays for girls aged 8-15 are also available.
