Booking Lesson and What to Wear

Notes about booking lessons and riding with us:

  • All lessons need to be booked in advance through EC Pro, the specialist equine booking platform.
  • You will need to register before being able to book your first lesson. This handy guide will help you register 
  • Cancellations can be made via EC Pro. Lessons can be re-scheduled or credited to you as long as you cancel 36 hours before your lesson. Pony rides and Own a Pony Days are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
  • Our maximum weight limit for our horses is 11 stone and for our RoboHorse simulator, is 15 stone.
  • Riding school vouchers can be purchased either through your EC Pro account or via the Farm’s booking page.
  • Filming horses and riders is strictly prohibited. We apologise for any inconvenience but hope you enjoy watching from the benches outside the café.
  • Riding lessons are subject to our standard terms and conditions which can be found here.
  • Our riding school proudly carries a 5-star three-year licence issued by Merton Council. This is the highest-level licence awarded to riding schools. Riding School Licence Deen City Farm, Joanna Henbrey, LN/0000017111

What to wear for your lessons:

  • If you don't have jodhpurs or breeches then long comfortable trousers which cover your legs are fine. No shorts or cropped trousers.
  • You can hire a riding hat with your online booking.  Just look out for the hat hire box and tick it when you book our lesson and it will be added to your basket. 
  • Riding boots with a smooth sole and a slight heel are suitable but we have boots you can borrow for free if needed. 
  • Dress suitably for the weather: bring waterproofs if it looks like rain.
  • Shoulders and upper arm must always be covered, even in hot weather. A t-shirt is fine but a vest top is not. 
  • No hoop earrings or obvious jewellery that might get caught should be worn. Small studs and a watch are fine. 
  • Long hair should be tied back in a low style so we can fit a hat correctly. 
  • We sell hats and boots if you wish to purchase your own. Please ask a member of staff in the yard.
