    The Royal Greenwich EC, in Shooters Hill, offers training and degree courses, run by Hadlow College.

    The foundation courses, which started in September, are “well booked” and a spokesman told H&H 40% of students are local residents.

    The college will soon be offering riding lessons to local people, but the start date and pricing are not yet finalised.

    The centre cost £1.6million to set up, with £250,000 coming from the British Equestrian Federation’s legacy money from Sport England
