Horse Riding in Moscow
Anastasia Kislyakova

If you are an experienced equestrian, or have never ridden a horse before, don’t be afraid of missing riding lessons in Moscow. There is quite a variety of centres available. This short guide will help you find different riding centres in and around the city.

One of the best schools is the Bitza riding centre situated in the southern part of the city, in the forest-park “Bitzevsky”. There about 50 horses and 21 ponies available for hire. Individual lessons cost 1,000 roubles per hour, and you can take out a season ticket which cuts costs considerably. The children’s school is pretty good, but there are a lot of people and it can get crowded. Tuition, as in all of these schools, is in Russian, and the school has a manezh, important in winter.

The Kremlin Equestrian Riding School offers individual and group lessons for children (from age 3) and adults. Unfortunately horse admirers will have to fork out quite a lot for having the privilege of riding at a school with the Kremlin name-tag. Prices range from 1,700-5,200 roubles per hour. Expensive and elite.
