“an amazing past 3 years”

Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

My children have been riding with Hyde Park Stables for 3 years now and we are very pleased with their service. The kids really love their riding and horse care sessions and go for Half Day Camps every weekend. The staff are all qualified and very helpful and we feel that our children are in the best hands there. More

This review should be totally ignored because it has been posted by a relative of the Ross Nye Stables family, posted presumably because they are jealous of the high standard service we provid. This type of review should not be allowed. More

“Great ride out in a stunning park”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

I had such a wonderful day out in the Park today. I was escorted by a lovely young lady who taught me along the way and was very friendly. The horses were very well behaved and turned out really well. You can definitely see that the horses are well looked after and are happy chappies. More

“Fabulous Stables - a bucket list item!”

Reviewed 31 March 2012

My daughter and I love to ride and we try to arrange a ride in famous parks when available. Our ride in Hyde Park was arranged by Hyde Park Stables and we could not have been more pleased. As we were riding, the Queens mounted guard entered the track ahead of us on their way back from morning maneuvers and... More

“Excellent”

Reviewed 20 February 2012

I am a huge fan of the Hyde Park Stables. There is no other experience quite like it in London. The stables are well staffed by the most friendly and welcoming team and the horses themselves live in excellent quarters. I'm told they are even air conditioned and enjoy a most regal setting in a mews that I first saw... More

Beware of a facility who has to put down people with legitimate complaints! I am the reviewer who was not allowed to ride because of your "weight limit". Your response clearly showed that you neither cared no read my review, only reacted to it. While I am certain that some people over estimate their weight, I am an American size... More

My partner and I booked a 'first time' ride around Hyde Park. It was raining, but seriously with the fun we did not really care! Baron and Jimmy were our horses for this trip, Tris was our guide/leader. Tris is very nice and kept us reassured of what was happening while we were riding. This is the beginnings of a... More

My wife has now ridden with Hyde Park Stables twice now, once a year ago and once last week. Had I written this after the first ride, I would have given 5 stars, without a doubt.

We are sorry this client did not think they received the best customer service on arrival, but are pleased they enjoyed the ride and will speak to all staff about their attitude. We are very busy and sometimes people take this for rudeness which is not intended, in Winter we are under a great deal of pressure to get the... More

I decided to book a Half Day intensive course at Hyde Park Stables and was very pleased with my decision. I had a flatwork lesson in the arena where I proved that I was safe to canter and then had a fun ride in the Park. As I had stated my experience level as intermediate, I was given 'Rumba', a... More

“Friendly Staff - Interesting but Boring Ride for the Children”

Reviewed 28 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Our children love horses so we signed them up for a ride around Hyde Park on horseback for an hour. Hyde Park Stables seems very well run and the staff are very friendly and experienced. The ride itself, however, was a bit boring according to my children. In all fairness, we recently took them for some horseback riding in Monument... More

Our reponse to this sort of review is how in this day and age can you put your children at risk. Other stables may be cheaper and less safety concious, but takling risks is not acceptable to us, we have qualified staff and never use children to supervise rides and lessons. We provide the best code of practice possible while... More
