Ebony Horse Club is a unique community equestrian charity based in Brixton, operating within the London Borough of Lambeth. Founded to use horses to raise the education, wellbeing, and aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, the club holds British Horse Society approval. The centre stables up to nine horses and includes a riding arena, paddock, classroom, and changing facilities. Membership is open to young people aged 8 to 18 (up to 25 for those with SEND) who live within two miles of the club. The programme combines riding lessons in dressage, show jumping, and cross country with structured youth work support, a young volunteer scheme, and the broader RIDE programme. Equine-assisted activities form a central part of the therapeutic and educational offer, with horses used deliberately to develop emotional awareness, empathy, and social skills in members who may face significant challenges outside the stable.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
