With 40 acres of land dedicated exclusively to cross country schooling and over 100 fences aimed at providing a suitable standard of test for intro right up to advanced level eventers, this is surely one of the best in the country.

All take-off & landings are dressed, all fences are dressed with flags, and where appropriate, flowers and shrubs. Trainers & riders can request repositioning of portal fences as required (call before arrival).

Designer & resident trainer, Russ Hardy, has spent a lifetime competing and teaching all standards of rider from beginner to 4-Star level.

This show piece cross country course lies within a 40-acre open field where instructors can easily maintain viewing and control of pupils. Both horse and rider can be presented with a wide variety of challenges and combinations to help develop their skills and increase their confidence.

The course is generally available 7 days a week, 12 months a year subject to ground conditions. The layout of the course is regularly changed every 3-4 weeks by re-arranging the location of the portable elements of the course.

Every type of fence or combination you may encounter at a one, two or three day event is available.

Here is a selection of fences we have spent the last 3 years building.

WATER COMPLEX:

The water complex covers an area of probably a third of an acre and has several "drop in" and "jump out" points of various heights and difficulty, including a sloping descent. Portable fences can be placed to provide a variety of options into, out of, or in the water.

STEPS & DROP:

As you might expect a steps complex with a range of options for all levels with both single and double options, together with a drop off for training advanced level horses.



THE SUNKEN ROAD:
Designed to give both novices confidence, and more experienced horses a suitable schooling test. The floor of the complex has two levels and can be ridden at a variety of striding lengths and angles.






THE BANK:
The bank can be ridden at two different heights and has a small ditch on the take-off side, with one stride on top of the bank.
