The Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre was founded in 1989 and holds both BHS and ABRS+ approval. Located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the centre features a recently resurfaced indoor arena, a small outdoor arena and track, an equestrian classroom, a Racewood mechanical horse, and an equine reference library. It is an affiliated Riding for the Disabled Association group and a Pony Club branch. The centre's core mission is to improve the lives of inner-city children and young people, including those with physical disabilities and learning difficulties. Activities include RDA lessons, general riding, stable management, Pony Kindergarten sessions for the youngest riders, BHS Challenge Award training, and birthday party hire. The Pony Kindergarten programme means very young children are actively welcomed, making this one of the most inclusive equestrian venues in London.

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.
