In days where everyone is so tethered to screens, there’s a rare freedom in stepping outside, feeling the rhythm of the ride on Wimbledon Common. The crunch of hooves on autumn leaves, the soft whispers of nature—it’s nourishment for heart and soul. No other sport offers this simple, grounding beauty. #WimbledonCommon #RidingInNature #EquestrianLife #SoulFood #EscapeTheScreens #NatureTherapy #HorsebackHealing #MindfulMoments #HorsesOfInstagram #GratefulForThis”
🌟 Celebrating our incredible team! 🌟
Last night, we gathered at The Fire Stables for an evening dedicated to the amazing individuals who make Wimbledon Village Stables so special. It was a joy to hear their stories and learn about their journeys, expertly brought to life in interviews with the wonderful Sara Brown.
We’re beyond lucky to have such a talented, passionate, and dedicated group of instructors. Here’s to our dream team! 💫

Surely this is what horse heaven looks like! 🌟**
Can you believe this incredible place? 🐴 Manor Farm Stables is just 8 miles from us, and it’s where our horses get to enjoy their much-deserved downtime. 🏞️ Take a moment to check it out! We hope our horses are loving every minute of their relaxation in the fields. 🌿 #ManorFarmStables #HappyHorses #HorseHeaven #EquestrianLife #
We were absolutely delighted to welcome the Wimbledon Village Walk & Talk group to The Stables today! 🌟 With a fantastic turnout, it was wonderful to share the history of The Stables, introduce them to our horses, and talk about what we do here. This free and fun community walk takes place every Saturday, leaving from The War Memorial at 10:30 AM, and this week, they included a visit to us. It was a great morning filled with learning and connection! 🐴💚

We love our Equicise simulator for new riders!🐴 It lets you get comfortable with the different gaits and transitions before you get on a horse for the first time. It’s the perfect way to hone your skills.
Happy and comfortable riders end up with happy horses too, so if you’d like to get some practice in before hopping into the saddle to build your confidence, we’d definitely recommend our horse simulator.

🌟 **Building Confidence, Balance, and Joy in Riding!** 🌟
Learning to canter on a real horse for the first time can be tricky, but our riding simulator makes it safe, fun, and easy! 🐴
Watch this little rider master the canter, gaining confidence and balance with every stride. The simulator provides the perfect introduction to the feel of the canter, helping children get comfortable before they take on the real thing.
The best part? It’s completely safe and gives kids the joy of riding without the stress. Let’s make riding fun and fearless! 🎉

Congratulations to everyone who took part in our dressage competition on Friday! This time, we held it in the black ring, which everyone seemed to enjoy. The more open arena space allowed riders to warm up comfortably around the edge, making the experience even better.
A huge thank you to our judge, Jenny, for her time and expertise. Special congratulations to our winners: Shane and Beau, Jenni and Harley, and Niamh and Harley. You all did an amazing job! Special mention to Deborah and Onyx for winning the turnout competition.
The day was truly fantastic, and it was topped off perfectly with a lovely barbecue in the yard, lunch, and some Prosecco. Well done to everyone involved!

Today marks 10 years since Jason started riding at Wimbledon Village Stables. Here is what he wrote in an email to us. “In the last 10 years, I have become such a better rider thanks to the teaching methods of learning whilst hacking at the same time, gained new skills such as cantering and using my voice to tell the horse to speed up or slow down - which is something I struggled with before coming here, and above all, I’ve made friends for life in both human and horse.
As I’m sure I’ve told you before, I’ve been making a photobook which showcases my 10 year journey and features all 11 horses and ponies that I’ve ridden here past and present. By coincidence, the photobook arrived today in time for the anniversary!”
Thank you Jason for sharing these very special memories with us @ridelove2
Despite the wet summer, our horses are in their element! The soft tracks and lush, green common have made it a truly beautiful season. 🌧️🐴💚
