I would not mind learning to ride.

Amleto · 7 Jan 2016 at 01:59

I too, would not mind learning to ride also.

I would also like to learn to ride an equine in the proximity of Londinium.

At this rate Londinium will have a +1 attack and defence bonus next year, aswell as a charge bonus against infantry.

e: I'm now worried incase someone shows an interest in pikeman classes in York, horsies dont like them pikemen.

In days of yore I partook in horsey ridying. Much fun was had in defense of the realm.

I see lots of people riding in Richmond Park. Take a look here:

When I lived there and went cycling I used to pass a school in Hackney marshes which seemed very popular. It's called the Lee Valley Riding Centre.

This place is around 10 minutes away from me, I've never done it as I have no interest but it seems quite popular.

Mounting a beast and riding it through the streets should be illegal. :eek:

A few schools in and around Epping Forest, which is handy if you're in East London

I think this place is more aimed at kids, pass it everyday on the train

There is a school near Ealing Common, looks pretty decent.

There is one near High Beech in Loughton. I used that one but it was back in 1993.

Used to live 2 streets down from there. Not a huge amount of space (the horses didn't look happy)

Think you can do it in a lot of the larger parks. Hyde park for example.

I bet it's horrendously expensive though. On the plus side I'm sure you will get to ride with rich sheiks wives and daughters. Maybe an in..

When I learned I was the only guy in a group of girls. It's a great way of meeting them. Unfortunately the whole reason for me learning was so that I could go on a ride with the new girlfriend I'd just met at the time. So I wasn't single.

It's way too colt to ride a horse my mane man. I think you should just say neigh and move on before you stirrup a real cold.

We are SE so close enough

Thanks guys

Will check all links.

Was hoping for a suggestion of a school that was tested

And surprised to see that there is number of you that would be interested
