Petersham Farm Stables
About this yard
Petersham Farm Stables is located on Petersham Road, Richmond TW10, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Managed by Operation Centaur, the stables serve as the base for a licensed park riding operation and a specialist equine-assisted psychotherapy service. Daily hacks through Richmond Park are offered to members, with access to a private area of the park normally closed to the general public. Full livery is available at a high standard, supported by an in-house team and access to specialist equine healthcare professionals including osteopaths and vets. Equine-assisted psychotherapy programmes are tailored to clients presenting with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ASD, and addiction, among other conditions. The facility focuses primarily on adult therapeutic and livery services.

Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
