Coombe Stables Riding School is a riding school based in Sway, England that runs a range of riding experiences and lessons for children and adults. The school offers structured sessions including the Kids Club — a 2-hour activity for children aged 4–14 that combines pony care, grooming and tacking up with a private 20-minute riding lesson. Group Lesson sessions are 30 minutes long and participants are grouped by ability to provide safe, level-appropriate instruction. Private Riding Lessons are available as 30-minute one-on-one sessions that begin with an assessment to create a tailored riding plan. For riders who want to explore the countryside, Private Hacks and Walking Hacks take guests along country lanes and into open forest; Private Hacks can include small exclusive groups of up to 8 participants. The Walking Hack and other guided rides are led by experienced staff to ensure a relaxed, scenic experience. Shorter family-friendly options include the Kids Arena Walk, a guided 20-minute walk in the outdoor arena with hard hats provided, and longer outings like the Picnic Hack — a 4-hour trek through the New Forest featuring a 90-minute ride to a picnic spot and a bespoke lunch before the return ride. All activities emphasize practical pony skills, safety and enjoyment, with clear guidance for riders of differing abilities.
