Come cross country schooling around our amazing fields.
The going is like sponge, so perfect for getting some fittening work in, or having a gentle hack with friends.

We have lots of sessions available at weekends and evenings and you can choose which time you’d like ( you can choose XC in the hacking slot -whatever suits you )
We have increased the times to 45 mins from Sunday and no one will be in the fields but you in your time slot.
A member of staff will check you in and send you off once the riders before you have returned.

Fences are 45cms and 60cms and there is tonnes of room to go around the jumps.
You can go on foot too if you have younger riders or fancy a walk round and you can see 6 fences from the edge of one field.

Book online
Spaces this Sunday 31st pm (2-5pm ) and Wednesday 3rd June. Perfect for after school or work and times are 4.30pm - 8.15pm weekdays. 🥰

⭐️Equine Influenza – Updated Guidance from British Dressage 20.05.2026

As a result of the increase in reported cases of equine influenza, the Equine Infectious Diseases Action Group has recommended that there needs to be a period of increased vigilance and monitoring to help prevent a further spread of the disease.

Please bring passports to the steward for checking before unloading the horse, this includes unaffiliated riders. We always run unaffiliated classes after BD classes as per BD rules or on separate dates, and the the warm up arena is not mixed -but all unvaccinated horses / lapsed vaccination horses will not be allowed to compete here.

The 12 month rule still applies at the moment but advice is to move horses towards vaccinating every 6 months.

Thank you for your understanding - we are a 30 horse livery yard too aswell as a competition venue, where bio security is our top priority. We will keep you updated on any other info.

Many thanks for your co operation in advance.

Jo and the Team 👍
