About our course

Our cross-country course has been designed to give horses space to jump with a forward rhythm, with plenty of warm-up space.  We offer a wide variety of different fences, covering a range of difficulty and technicality from beginners to BE 100 and Pre-Novice, to suit all standards of horses, ponies and their riders.

For those with more experience, the course offers larger obstacles – permanent and portables – including arrowheads, drops, coffins, ditches, corners and ‘skinnies’, plus two water complexes.

For beginners, we have an inviting woodland trail with eight small rustic fences (logs and palisades).

      

Our fences and course have been designed and built by BE accredited fence builders.

We’re always updating and improving our facilities, and add new fences each year.

Our course is available to hire for events, clinics and competitions. Please contact Sharon for further information.
