Welcome to Newmarket Stables
In the heart of Durban amongst freeways and city buildings is a little piece of the past. Formerly a training yard for racehorses, Newmarket Stables is a registered SAEF club offering a riding school and livery, aiming to keep the joy and art of horse-riding alive within the concrete walls of the city lifestyle.
The buildings and stable blocks are over 100 years old. They are still standing exactly as they were when the yard was first built and then used as a racing yard for the training of racehorses. Although the grounds are smaller than they used to be, we still retain grass paddocks and arenas with space for between 60 - 70 horses. Within the grounds we have a sand dressage arena, jumping arena and also an Olympic quality training size water jump in our main field.
The yard is situated next to the Cyril Geogehan Cycle Stadium which is also a show jumping stadium. KZN horse society show holders hosts shows here on a regular basis as well as world cup qualifiers (5 star international ratings) and Adults SA Champs.
Newmarket Stables offers riding lessons as well as livery. Livery riders are welcome to bring their own outside instructors into the yard, and we fully encourage all our children riders to reach their own riding dreams and goals, so far a number of Newmarket's own children riders are competing successfully in dressage and jumping.
