Ross Nye Stables
About this yard
Ross Nye Stables is one of only two commercial riding establishments still operating inside central London, based at 8 Bathurst Mews in W2. Established in 1965, it''s the longest-running riding school in central London and a Pony Club centre. Lessons and escorted hacks take place in Hyde Park, including along the historic Rotten Row and the sand tracks around the park's perimeter. The yard is family-run and well-loved by regulars, with a Pony Club for younger riders, an adult riding club, jumping events and an annual horse show. Boots and hats are provided. Booking by phone or email.
