Earlier this year Park Lane Stables in Teddington started a fundraising campaign when the landlord told them he was selling up and the charity would not be able to stay after the lease ran out on May 31. The charity helps disabled children and the disadvantaged learn to ride with a pay what you can system and councils from across the capital refer young people and adults there for respite.
Park Lane Stables owner Natalie O’Rourke described the invitation as a “modern-day fairy tale”.
The Royal Mews is located in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and regarded as one of the finest working stables around the world.
It is also responsible for all the road travel arrangements for The Queen and members of the Royal Family.

Ms O’Rourke launched the ‘Save Our Stables’ campaign to buy the London facility after the landlord decided against extending the lease.
