Due to the severe adverse weather we are experiencing today, we have had to cancel this dressage event. We intend contacting each competitor who entered this event, so we can establish whether they wish their entry fee to be transferred or their cheque destroyed.  However, please could they note this cancellation and also call us on either 07771346512 or 07887 400239 to assist.

Due to popular demand we are leaving a course of jumps out all day and evening on Wednesday 25th April for hire. The arena can be hired for £30 / hour and includes up to 4 riders within this rate.  If an evening booking is made and lights are required then this will be charged at £5 / hour.

We are pleased to advise that our photographer – Richard Marshall, has now launched his web site and a number of photographs from previous events have now been uploaded onto his web site for purchasing. Richard hopes to attend a number of our future shows so hopefully you will meet him and view photo’s he has taken while on our premises or subsequently on his web site. Please ensure all enquiries and purchases are arranged direct with Richard.  Photographs taken at dressage competitions will only be taken with the prior consent of the rider before their test and at show jumping competitions, there will be announcements on the tanoy system and he will be present in the arena to the side of the judges room at marker ‘C’.  Anyone NOT wishing to have their pictures taken are to advise the door steward. We have provided a link below to his

We thank all competitors who competed at our venue today, which all went well and to time. Today we would like to feature Tina Price who we nickname ‘Marathon Woman’ as she owns at least 10 horses and today she competed on three of her horses and did six tests.  Tina competed on her horses ‘Ghilley’, ‘Bo’ and ‘Cheeky’ and we show a picture below of her in action in Class 3 on her horse – Cheeky.

We have just added this new page which will shortly be developed, and hope we will receive feedback from interested Parents.

We are pleased to advise that we have added some photographs to our Events Gallery taken at our ‘Hartpury College Qualifier’ competition, so have a look and see if one is of you! We intend doing this on a regular basis, but you need to attend to get a picture! We offer this as a free service and hope this will become popular with those photogenic riders in action! From this show we feature today Megan Tisshaw.  We were advised by her mother that Megan had a great day on her new pony, and what a lovely pony she is to, BUT she has an almost impossible name for Jilly to pronounce.  Poor Jilly had great fun with her trusted companion – Rachie, trying to pronounce the name ‘Stroodorps Fuliette’.  However, Jilly did try with varying degrees of success much to the amusement of Megan and her mum – Tara.

Remember the Octopus which predicted the winners of each round for the World Cup, well we received a call today from Radio 5 Live who were attending and featuring the 2012 Cheltenham Festival at the Race Course this week and decided they would contact a local equestrian centre so they could arrange for a horse or pony to predict winners for the Queen Mother Champion Chase today, the World Hurdle tomorrow and the Gold Cup on Friday.  The good news is that they chose us and Kauto Stone was chosen by our resident pony ‘Angus’ for today’s winner. Radio 5 Live will be mentioning our venue and the predicted winner each day, so listen out and you may be a winner! We thank Kevin Day (Presenter) and Emily Croydon from Radio 5 Live for approaching us and for Charlotte lending us the use of her pony, with assistance from Jackie
