Horse Riding In Hong Kong: Riding Schools, Lessons & Pony Rides

From pony rides and beginner horse riding lessons to professional equestrian training, Hong Kong has a small but impressive selection of riding schools for kids and adults.

Horse riding in Hong Kong has a long history, and the city still has a strong equestrian scene today. Despite its size, you’ll find riding schools and equestrian centres across Hong Kong offering everything from first lessons and casual pony rides to regular training and competitive riding. With options from Clearwater Bay to Sheung Shui, plus public, private and group lessons, there’s plenty to choose from whether your child is getting in the saddle for the first time or already knows their way around a stable.
