Business Details
Docklands Equestrian Centre is owned and operated by the UK registered charity, Newham Riding School & Association Ltd. We provide top quality indoor and outdoor all weather flood-lit facilities where local disabled and able bodied children and adults learn to ride and care for horses at affordable prices.
We holds regular events and clinics and run a variety of children's activities during term time and school holidays. We also offer a points based volunteers program to our riders 12yrs and over who want to gain experience in stable management. Volunteers points can earn them free lessons. Both my daughter and I have been riding at the school for 7 years, that should speak for itself!

Services
Lessons & Prices
Docklands Equestrian Centre is a BHS & ABRS approved riding centre and offers riding lessons and training all the year round. We have both an indoor arena (20 x 60m) and outdoor menage (20 x 40m) with an all weather surface. We cater for all levels of rider including Riding for the Disabled (RDA).
Riding for the Disabled
Riding for the Disabled is an internationally recognised charity that enables riders with disabilities to undertake riding. Docklands Equestrian Centre is a member group of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) and we have RDA qualified staff. We undertake lessons for a variety of disabilities.
Clothing & Riding Gear
All riders are required to wear boots and a hat. Do not buy any specialist items until you have decided to take up riding regularly as a hobby, as we supply boots and a safety certified riding helmets. You only get one head, look after it! An approved safety hat must be worn. It must comply with BSI standards (min PAS 015 & BS EN 1384).
Volunteers
For insurance purposes children must have had their 12th birthday to stay and volunteer at the centre. Each new volunteer will be paired with a Senior Volunteer or Member of Staff until they have completed their Induction and Training. Our volunteer scheme aims to support young volunteers to gain valuable stable management experience and introduces skills in responsibility, organisation and communication.
Livery
At Docklands Equestrian Centre we offer very competitively priced livery in East London. Our convenient location, close to the A13 and A406 (North Circular Rd), London City Airport, a DLR station and on major bus routes, makes us a popular choice with horse owners living / working in the East London area.
Horses & Ponies
Big Ted is so popular with every rider. Despite his age he just loves to work and is especially good for new adult riders. We don't use him on faster rides now - although when he is free-lunging you would wonder why! Blue is so popular with everyone - he has a very docile nature and is especially good with the Disabled Riders.
