About this yard

The Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre was founded in 1989 and holds both BHS and ABRS+ approval. Located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the centre features a recently resurfaced indoor arena, a small outdoor arena and track, an equestrian classroom, a Racewood mechanical horse, and an equine reference library. It is an affiliated Riding for the Disabled Association group and a Pony Club branch. The centre's core mission is to improve the lives of inner-city children and young people, including those with physical disabilities and learning difficulties. Activities include RDA lessons, general riding, stable management, Pony Kindergarten sessions for the youngest riders, BHS Challenge Award training, and birthday party hire. The Pony Kindergarten programme means very young children are actively welcomed, making this one of the most inclusive equestrian venues in London.
