We provide the wellbeing benefits of access to horses to those who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. Stepney Bank Stables Equestrian and Activity Club (EAC) is an inner-city project working with horses as part of the team to help young people develop across a broad spectrum of personal and social skills such as resilience, confidence, positive self-esteem and employability skills. The EAC w

elcomes youngsters aged between 8 and 18 to take part in a range of activities such as workshops, tackling issues like bullying, county lines, and healthy relationships, in addition to team building events and excursions. As well as all of this, they also help look after the horses for the British Horse Society approved riding school and help Instructors with lessons. All of the activities are run by a team of well-qualified, enthusiastic equestrian and youth staff who take pride in seeing the club members blossom under their care. The EAC has been recognised multiple times including the Queen’s Jubilee Award. The riding school has a range of well-mannered horses and ponies who work with our superb, qualified instructors to help our customers learn all about how to ride. There are also opportunities to undertake Association of British Riding School and British Horse Society qualifications and some of our young people take part in external competitions.

This lesson is all about cultivating a mental and physical state that will enable you and your horse to canter together with ease. This lesson focuses on developing a balanced, soft position in the saddle, understanding the aids and, most importantly, finding a state of calm focus so that your horse can find calm focus too.

We have lots of options if you want to spend some time with horses over the holidays (and perhaps take a break from people if you feel the same as Mabs?!).

Why not consider booking a festive walk with Dream, a tour of the stables, a riding lesson, a horse agility session or treating a loved one to a gift voucher to spend on any of the above?

Drop us a message for further details. You can also call us on 0191 261 5544 or email [email protected]

We have spaces available on Thursday’s beginner showjumping lesson at 5.20pm with Leanne. Riders must be level 3 or above and have been riding at level 3 for at least 1 month to ensure they are confident.

🐴🌟 Charity Spotlight The Emile Faurie Foundation 🌟🐴

We are looking for our new Charity Partner in 2025, and we need you to help us decide!

Meet The Emile Faurie Foundation, a charity that focuses on making equestrian sports and activities accessible to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.

The Foundation provides children with the opportunity to experience the joy of horse riding and gain a sense of achievement through mastering new skills in equestrian activitie. Now in its 18th year the Foundation works closely in collaboration with State schools and Youth projects throughout the UK funding disadvantaged children living in inner cities and deprived areas to ride and have contact with horses. The Foundation links schools with riding school’s in their area where the children have weekly lessons throughout the school term. This opportunity to have contact with horses is found to have a profound effect on the children’s mental well-being, boosting their self-esteem, confidence and developing their learning skills.

With your vote you can help The Emile Faurie Foundation continue their amazing work.❤️

Vote for your chosen charity https://harryhallinsurance.com/one-club-charity-partnership/

And as a thank you we'll send you a £10 e-voucher* to spend at HarryHall.com!

🖤 Henry sessions 🖤 Brilliant for riders of all abilities. Essential for Level 2A riders who can feel torn between focusing on position and focusing on control. Henry is exceptionally well behaved so you can focus solely on yourself with an experienced, qualified coach by your side to make adjustments whilst you’re moving. Henry sadly goes home mid January so make the most of this opportunity! Lessons are available on Mondays and on Thursday 2nd January. 15 minutes is just £12 and provides a whole body workout! External riders are welcome to book too. What lightbulb moments will you discover? #horses #mechanicalhorses #mechanicalhorsesimulator #mechanicalhorse

Just Larry showing off his diverse range of skills 🖤 Thank you to all the wonderful people who’ve sent gifts for our horses and ponies, we’re super grateful for all the love that they receive 🧡 If you want to purchase a pony present please check out our Amazon Wishlist or simply pick up an extra bag of carrots! 🥕 https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/42II8R7142UR/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 #enrichmentforhorses #horses

Festive fun 🎄🎅🐶🐂

Not sure what’s got into the girls today 😂 Iona forgets she’s almost 22! Horses are sensitive to weather changes so perhaps they sense the coming storm 💨🍃 We’re currently aiming to continue with lessons and events as planned this weekend but will pay close attention to the forecast, particularly to the wind, and let you know if we need to make any changes. #stormdarragh

🦮 Dog Gymkhana 🦮 This Saturday (7th) from 3pm. Fun and informal (very informal!) Dog Showjumping and obstacle races. £4 per dog per class. Please enter at 3pm. All dog must be kept on a lead 🐶. Please clean up after your dog!

More fabulous gifts arrived for the ponies to enjoy yesterday. We love how much you love them and were so grateful. Thank you to Zoe for treats, forage blocks and salt licks. Thank you to the Skinner family for two hanging hay balls. It’s a huge help towards keeping our horses happy and healthy 🧡 P.S they also love carrots. Especially wonky ones and oops ones! https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/42II8R7142UR/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 #givingtuesday #enrichmentforhorses #horsehumanconnection

Morgan and Thomas were invited to attend and speak at the annual emilefauriefoundation fundraising dinner on Saturday night. The Emile Faurie Foundation have been a fantastic supporter of our work for many years. Here’s a flavour of the evening! 💃🕺🪩

Massive thank you to Louise who purchased the ponies an early Christmas present from our Amazon Wishlist! These hay balls with added carrots are keeping the Stepney squad entertained encouraging browsing behaviour. We know lots of you love our ponies just as much as we do.

Stepney Bank Stables is approved by the British Horse Society and the Association of British Riding Schools. We are also a Pony Club Centre, this means that we have passed rigorous checks to ensure that our horses, facilities and equipment are fit for purpose and that our staff are appropriately qualified and skilled.

Stepney Bank Stables was honoured by ‘Her Majesty The Queen’ with the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award 2003. We have also been awarded Investing in Children Membership as a result of our continued commitment to involving young people in the planning and delivery of our work and were winners at the Charity Awards receiving a Judges Commendation for our work with children and young people in 2014.
