What a fantastic experience! My 11 year old daughter and I have just been for a ride around Ruislip Woods on two beautiful horses. The horses were great and the staff of this family run business were even better. My daughter was very nervous at the start but the team at Ruislip Park Stables did not give up and done all they could to assure her it was safe. My daughter loved it and so did I. Couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families wanting a first or early horse riding experience, especially with nervous children or toddlers from 24 months. The woodland setting through Ruislip forest is genuinely beautiful and the lead-rein format keeps young riders safe and confident.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Wear wellington boots or sturdy waterproof footwear — woodland trails get muddy
Arrive 10–15 minutes early so children can see and get comfortable with the horses before mounting
🎟️Combine a 30- or 45-minute ride with the grooming and feeding session for the fullest experience
🚗Staff willingly take photos and video throughout — ask them at the start

A big thank you to the staff and volunteers at Ruislip Park Stables. From arrival to the time we left it was positive and fun for my child. We booked a 30 min ride through the forest plus feeding and grooming session. It was fun and my child learned more about horses. I highly recommend this place and I have already been asked to come back. One word of advice: bring some boots or Wellies. The trails are quite muddy!

We did the 45-minute woodland ride with grooming and feeding and it was honestly the best thing ever! The girls leading us were SO sweet and friendly like instantly made us feel at ease and let us take a million photos and videos. The horses were so calm, gorgeous, and just full of personality. Seriously, everyone there was amazing and it made the whole experience unforgettable. Can’t recommend it enough!
