Can anyone recommend a riding stables close to SW London (Richmond)

[CountessDracula]

I would like to take 5 yo dd riding sometimes (we did in Wales and she loved it)

Richmond Park seems rather expensive at £50 per hour

I don't mind driving half an hour or a bit more

Unless she's ridden a lot I think she'd be recommended a half-hour lead rein ride for six/eight weeks. Wimbledon does them for about £20/5 and, according to a friend, is fairly good for small children. They progress to an hour which, I think is about £50, fairly quickly. We're in Surrey and the rate drops dramatically to about £25 an hour for lessons. We used to ride somewhere in Morden at one point but doubt it would be good for children.
