Even though it was unseasonably COLD, we had a terrific time on our ride through Hyde Park. Our guide, Barbara, was very patient and pointed out highlights in the park that we would not have known about on our own. The horses were well-mannered and had a smooth gait - especially when we trotted for a few minutes at a... More

I was visiting London from Australia and being a rider and horse owner figured I had to go for a ride in Hyde Park. The staff were friendly and provided boots and helmet (who brings them in a suitcase?). The ride itself was lovely, due to Winter Wonderland we were unable to see the whole of the regular trail but... More

Stunning, fantastic, unforgettable! A must-do for horse lovers! The most surprising experience we've had, due to stables being located almost in a habitable tenement house, just 150m away from underground station and all within regular city center! The Hyde Park is just accross the street and will make for a great time on horse back. Very attentive, friendly staff, stables... More

Thank you to Hyde Park Stables for the amazing experiences I had over my two weeks in London. I was lucky enough to book in for a 2 hour private ride through Hyde Park on my birthday and it was totally worth it! Brought back many fond memories of riding as a child. Was also a great way to view... More

Hello everyone - I am really surprised about the downward comments about this stable. I am an Australian national, and an experienced rider, owned my own horses, but unfortunately currently unable to do this due to work committments / travel. I ride whenever I can, which is not often, so when I do, I ensure the yard I go to... More

Set in a pretty location, easy to find as directions are well typed on website. Staff seemed a little distracted at first when we arrived which can come across as rude, but this changed as we went for our ride. The staff were lovely, and friendly and we had a nice chat as we made our way through the park.... More

I had booked a semi private ride round Hyde Park while on a business trip to London so that I could have a change of scenery away from all the hustle and bustle. My booking was easy to make, there was good availability to suit my schedule. I had a look at the trip advisor comments and I was concerned... More

I just read the review from the 12 yr old girl who was clearly disappointed she was not able to ride off lead. I wanted to respond because my daughter is the same age (12) and also rode in early July. She was, however, very glad to have been on a lead. She went for a private ride with an... More

I rode at these stables about 2 weeks ago and I was very disappointed after my ride. I had been expecting a nice trail ride in which we could canter and do some exciting riding. When we went out on the trail, the instructor still had me on a lead rope. Whe were so close together that we banged legs... More

At Hyde Park Stables, safety is of paramount importance and with 12 years of age, this customer is just at the edge of being allowed off the lead rein when riding in the open. We think, even with plenty of riding every week, two years of riding are really not a long time and someone at this age who has... More
