Cross Country
The cross-country course is fully open, weather permitting. Lessons are available on the course, or you can get together with some friends and hire it out. Regular competitions take place for both more experienced riders and advanced riders during the summer, where rosettes and trophies can be won. There are over thirty jumps, with two derby banks.

Show Jumping
The jumps are on the all weather sand ménage and are available for hire also. They are regularly used in the lessons to encourage variety. The jumps are used in conjunction at times with the cross-country course to act as a mini event, points are gained and rosettes handed out.

The Gallops!
The gallops are a safe and well- maintained area for blowing the cobwebs out of your horse, or excellent for beginners who want to go for a short ride in the safety of them. They can be used when the roads are too icy, or if your horse is convalescing. The surface is well drained ensuring the going is not too soft or hard. The gallops have some of the easier cross-country jumps alongside, you can just ride onto the grass and pop over one.

Hacking
The horses used are excellent and well behaved on the roads. The two -hour hack is the most popular with our current riders. A short walk down the road and we have access to many bridle-paths.
The two hour hack incorporates a few optional natural obstacles and a lovely stream for riding in.
The three -hour hack can get you to Kenilworth Castle, lovely on a summers’ day.

Full, Part and DIY Livery
We have a separate yard from the riding school for the liveries, which is very quiet and spacious, this includes a stable and individual turnout and use of our wonderful facilities including a one mile all weather sand gallop, novice cross country course of approximately 35 jumps, 3 floodlit all weather sand arenas and show jumps. During the summer months the yard buzzes with polo fever as Janet and her son Karl are busy schooling their polo ponies. Janet regularly visits the yard to ensure that everything is tidy and well, otherwise liveries here are left to their own devices. Please call Janet on 01926 494313 for more information or a visit.
