Another scorcher day...thank you to everyone who came, competed or helped at our SJing and dressage event.

We want to apologize for the dressage arena, we tried something different and it failed. The arenas will be back at the bottom of the field. We also discovered at the end of the show, that the arena was built a tad small. For anyone who entered the dressage, you will get 50% off your next dressage entry (for each entry).

Happy New Year!

The field looked beautiful this morning in the frost.
We’re excited for 2026 and look forward to seeing you all with your horses.

We’ve got training in the diary for January - March so please check the website for details and to book.

Please also mark Tuesday 24th February in your diary for our AGM. We have the vet Brian Sherry from South East Equine giving a talk on first aid too.

We’re also making plans for our May camp at Castle Copse and will release booking for this soon.

Do let us know if there is anything you want us to organise this year and we will do our best.

Don’t forget the field can be hired exclusively for members during the season. The grass cover is great and as the bottom half of the field floods each year it manages to retain this moisture for a lot of the year so even in summer the ground is still good. Definitely a benefit to make time for as a member when you’re planning your year. Maybe you’re planning your first event? Bring your trainer down to the field to practice in the white boards. Maybe you want to bring out your young horse to introduce them to fillers and coloured poles - the field is the perfect location for this! Tell us your plans for the year and we can let you know how we can help.
