A perfect morning deserves a perfect afternoon.
The Park Saddle is a luxury equestrian venue at the gates of Windsor Great Park — a working yard of beautifully schooled horses, professional trainers and first-class facilities, joined by an exclusive hair and beauty salon and AURA, a specialty coffee bar.
One venue, one standard: everything done properly, nothing done loudly.
4,800 acres of royal parkland as our front garden — the ride the postcards never quite catch.
Serious horsemanship: schooled horses, top British trainers, a yard run to the highest standard.
The Salon — beauty and refinement guided by one principle: enhance, not alter.
AURA Coffee and the warmth of a place that wants you to stay all day.
The Long Walk at first light. The Copper Horse from the saddle. Deer moving under five-hundred-year-old oaks. Our riders hack straight out into 4,800 acres of Windsor Great Park — stay for everything else: the salon, the coffee, the yard.
At The Park Saddle, our mission is to provide safe and enjoyable horseback riding experiences for riders of all levels. We strive to create a welcoming environment where riders can develop their skills, build confidence, and form lasting connections with horses. An introduction hack of The Great Park lasts one hour.
One Hour · GuidedA step up and longer guided tour of The Great Park takes you past some of the best sites in Windsor including Windsor Castle, The Copper Horse, The Long Walk and past the Royal landscape of forests, grasslands, lakes and gardens.
2–3 Hours · GuidedAn all-day tour including lunch at a local pub or a luxury lunch at the 5-star hotel nearby. Whilst our guests are enjoying lunch we will watch after your horses, groom them and prepare them for their journey home.
Full Day · With LunchWindsor Great Park is the venue's front garden — ancient woodland, deer lawns and royal history, and our riders hack straight into it. These are the sights you will meet from the saddle.
The tree-lined avenue of 2.64 miles from Windsor Castle to Snow Hill — planted with double rows of elms by Charles II in 1660, inspired by his years at Versailles. Ridden at first light, it is still the grandest driveway in England.
George III on horseback, cast in 1829, watching from the top of Snow Hill — with the view back down the Long Walk to the Castle. The postcard, earned properly.
Built in 1652 and home to the Rangers of the Great Park for centuries. Queen Victoria visited often, and it was here in 1936 that the abdication crisis was quietly discussed. Today it is an educational charity hosting conferences, open days and lectures.
Built in 1825 by Jeffry Wyattville for George IV and later remodelled in the Gothic Revival style — the chapel Queen Victoria attended, and Queen Elizabeth II used when in residence at Windsor.
The Park is also one of Britain's most important wildlife sites — 250 rare species of fungi among the ancient oaks, red kites soaring on sunny days, ring-necked parakeets for a soundtrack, and mandarin ducks and the lesser spotted woodpecker among the neighbours.
Airy oak stabling, immaculate wash bays, a tack room dressed like a dressing room — and horsemanship taken as seriously as hospitality. Full livery, schooling, training and workshops with top British trainers, for owners who expect their horses kept as well as their guests.
After the ride: deep sofas, a proper fire, a well-kept bar and a table that seats everyone. The clubhouse is the drawing room of the yard — grand where the venue is grand, warm everywhere else.
An exclusive hair and beauty salon within the venue — gilded mirrors, Hollywood light and a welcome as warm as the yard is grand. Hair, skin, hands, coaching, body and soul with quiet hours, guided by one principle: enhance, not alter.
“Beauty and refinement, done properly — a sanctuary within the venue.”
Discover The SalonSpecialty coffee, signed under the Stables — served in cream, drunk by the fire or carried out to the yard. The warmth of a place that wants you to stay all day.
Music on the lawn, a cake worthy of the occasion, and the whole Stables — two-legged and four — receiving its first guests.
A good host who happens to keep exceptional horses — and the team who keep the standard, every single day.
And in The Salon — seven more of us, waiting where the ride ends. Meet the salon team.
