Established in 1965, Ross Nye Stables in Hyde Park is the longest-established riding school to offer riding in Central London. Horses and riding have been synonymous with Hyde Park since the reign of Henry VIII, when it was used as a hunting ground for the Tudor Court. The Carriage horses from the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace are still exercised daily in the Park, so you may see liveried coachmen driving a team of beautiful Windsor Greys along Rotten Row, early in the morning.
