Docklands Equestrian Centre - London

My sons, loved it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Horses were looked after and well kempt.
We went for their drop in horse and pony ride session. 5 laps at £5 which i thought was pretty decent. They do have a riding school avaible too.
Lovely for children. They have free loan wellies for those who don't have or forget. Just make sure you wear full length trousers.
They do require you to wear a mask, so bring one along or pay £1 per mask. For anyone riding and for those guiding a young child.

Took the kids and 1 adult to the equestrian centre today. Easy system - line up at the office, pay, change into the available boots/wellies as required, then line up to get your helmet. Reasonably priced. Each rider did 4 laps for £5. You need to supervise your younger kids riding. Wear long bottoms - no shorts / skirts / dresses. Vending machine near office. Friendly staff. Plenty of car park space.

Went for the pony rides which are Saturday & Sunday 1:00pm - 2:30pm only.£1.50 per lap or 4 for £5 which is pretty good value. I know it may seem hard to find as there isn’t a sign but its located on claps gate lane so at the roundabout (near sainsburys petrol pump) turn towards Lidl and follow that road all the way down, you will pass the entrance on your right before going further down and entering a larger open area where you can park your car.
There is a side entrance with metal gates you walk down the path. Upon entering the rather large reception you may purchase your tickets. There is a refreshments machine also located here with seating and there is a toilet. Children under ten must be supervised (you have to walk round with them), 10+ may ride unaccompanied. Once you have your tickets you make your way through to the larger hall, where you can choose your wellies or boots or attempt to 😂 . In some places they are nicely stacked where you can see the size written on top most will be in pairs but then so good luck. others are just strewn all wrong/stood paired wrong sizes and you’ll go hunting hunting .( It’s best to wear long trousers on the day ) Afterwards you wait in line for your turn, they choose a suitable sized helmet for you to use.
They do ask people to take pictures at the end so if you do have someone else with you I’d recommend standing on the left side there’s seats and a platform where you can video or photograph with great views 📸📹
Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to have experienced with upclose contact with ponies. What a lovely variety they have aswell , many have been rescued from places like the newham city farm. I think the work the do is great and they are looking for volunteers 11+ (I think it’s a great idea for kids as a starting hobby who knows🤔
I do recommend dropping by with the kids to enjoy.. Have fun and if you have more time why don’t you consider having a pony for a day!
Ps I hope you work on the wellie situation

We had my daughters 4th birthday here. It was amazing. Jean (manager) was super friendly, accommodating and laid back. We had 16 children riding the ponies and used the hall to have food, drinks, games and cake. We had so much fun we ran over but Jean was able to accommodate us anyway. The ladies looking after the children in the rides were friendly. Everyone had an amazing time, the children even got a private session with a few of the ponies to stroke and feed them at the end. My daughter had the best time, definitely a party all her friends will remember. We'll be back for proper lessons when she turns 5.

Location is easy to get to with ample parking and space for the children to be free.

A nice equestrian centre! Good for taking the kids for a few laps on some ponies!

Very rude staff !!!!!!! At the reception when we came first time without checking height of the child the African lady instantly got rude upsetting the children by undermining them . By having glimpse at the kids without checking their height which was to the limit they require she instantly kissed her teeth stating they won’t be allowed to go in . Kids were crying when it’s supposed to be enjoyable family experience . Mannerless management and pure discrimination .
