The London Horseplay Centre is a registered hub for TheHorseCourse, a nationally recognised equine-assisted learning and behavioural change programme, located on Galley Lane, Barnet, in the London Borough of Barnet. The centre has been delivering TheHorseCourse to young people in Hertfordshire and North London since 2016, led by approved facilitators with extensive equestrian and natural horsemanship experience. The centre's work focuses on horse-based intervention for young people with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties, grounded in natural horsemanship principles rather than conventional riding instruction. Engagement is primarily through referral and programme bookings rather than scheduled public lessons.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
