There are various activities held at the centre that range from lessons, to competitions and clinics, to fundays and pony club camps. We pride ourselves in being a friendly, approachable yard whilst maintaining a very positive attitude to attainment and achievement.

We can help you train towards many qualifications as we are an NVQ training supplier and BHS 'Where to train' centre for all exams up to BHSI. We hold training courses for each level every month.

We also run First Aid, Assessor, Internal Verifier and Transport Qualification Courses.

We are a competition centre for British Dressage and BSJA and we also run Unaffiliated dressage and show jumping every month to qualify for the Championship in September. We have 2 competition sets of show jumps and a cross country course. The Olympic outdoor arena is available for hire for shows, rallies and all kinds of outdoor activities.
