Not the usual scene at the Riding School on a Monday morning as 350 tonnes of high performance sand/ fibre mix arrives afrom 7 am, with lorries in and out all day resurfacing Arenas 2 + 3.

Very good news however for students, horses and coaches. The new mix is better for horses' agility and hoof health, and creates a cleaner and healthier environment for our students, coaches - and our lovely Ealing neighbours.

Expect a little disruption up for the next 2/3 days, but we will do everything to keep it to a minimum.

Tired helpers behind the scenes at the ERS Sunday's Summer Show, after a Saturday night's camping (in heavy rain downpour) in the Gallivanter Meadow, to be ready at 6 am to braid and plait, feed and prepare the horses, and help the inexperienced with their practical knowledge.

The Nature of the Horse Workshop - this Sunday 21st July 4-5 pm at the School Yard.
Booking link:-
https://EalingRidingSchool.as.me/?appointmentType=64307325

Led by Anna Marie, qualified riding coach, psychotherapist, equine-facilitator and hospice nurse.

Unlocking horses' natures and how our own human psychology has always walked in pace with the horse. And how this gentle highly sensory-intelligent animal brings huge confidence to some, healing to others, and a sense of peace and wellbeing to all.

This talk, with horse interaction, will be of interest to those keen to ride, curious about the horse and their reactions (they have been hitting the news lately!) or in equine therapy for children, adults or seniors. Do book and come along - everyone will be most welcome.

Every year Ealing Riding School welcomes scores of vet students from universities across the U.K. for their large animal work placement. Here our specialist vet is explaining to students how to read an X-ray on the horse Merlin - a torn tendon sheath or something more serious? Luckily the former and Merlin is now on 'box rest" for a few weeks, and will be very well looked after.

Horses at holiday from Ealing Riding School - tricky to get them back to work. We all know that feeling

On Wednesday’s we do poles 🤓

Consistency is key for improvement. Here’s one of our novice riders being given her first “feel” by school horse Gypsy. Not been riding very long but the hard work is paying off 👏🏻

It might be -5 but the ponies are enjoying the dry winter sun at lunchtime today

Long term resident Bo sharing a moment with his neighhhhhbour Robyn 😅

Two weeks in the life of a Riding School - horsemanship and tumbles at Clear Round Jumping competition, Hallowe'en Volunteer cavorting in Warm Barn, 2 x Senior Groom head to the South Coast for some beach riding (listen to the wind), Hermes Corporate visit to learn about equestrianism styling in luxury goods, the Ealing 9th Scouts, Cubs and Beavers come for flashlight fireside adventures- and oh yes the lovely everyday of lessons and lunge training our lovely horses. Tough work.

Breakfast horse-style

Sharing is good. Sound effects not so good?
