What riders say about Pelham stables

Windwood Equestrian

Windwood Equestrian is the most amazing and gorgeous venue that you could imagine! I knew I wanted my wedding to be outside, but I didn’t want just a random barn or field. Windwood is like stepping into an English countryside. It is everything I wanted and more!

★★★★★ Ellie, Dec 2025

Special Equestrians

Special E is just that - SPECIAL! They are able to provide terrific therapy to children and adults. The horses are patient and give the riders a great variety of benefits.
