New Lodge Riding Centre
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.

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.
