About this yard

New Lodge Riding Centre is a registered charity located at Mottingham Lane, SE9, in the London Borough of Bromley. Founded in 1978 and affiliated with the Riding for the Disabled Association since 1981, the centre provides therapeutic and recreational riding to riders with physical, sensory, and learning difficulties across the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham, and Southwark. The centre maintains 11 RDA-registered ponies and horses across its 26-acre site and delivers over 2,000 rides per year, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. The specialist nature of the RDA programme means that nearly all riders have been assessed for suitability, with the centre primarily serving participants referred through healthcare and education channels.
