It is with huge sadness we have made the decision to cancel this weekends show 😭😭
The weather we've had had made the ground very slippery and the forecast for more rain to come and high winds due on sunday means we have to think about everyone's safety getting to us and also when your here. Keep an eye on the page and we will be back next year!!
Thank you all for your support.

Not long to our show on the 14th Sept!!

I would like to stress the emphasis on ***FUN*** for this show, we want lots of smiles and happy faces!

If your not happy to canter around in a group in the ridden shows beacuse your either a novice rider or even have a novice horse. just say to our lovely judge/stewards and they will completly understand.

We also understand that not everyone is able to have/afford "correct" showing tack or clothing but as long as you are in control of your horse /pony, the tack fits properly, wearing suitable footwear and riding hats and have tried to turn out as best you can for a show with what you have that's also absolutely fine. 😊

If you have never shown before and don't know what to do again please just ask.. our judges/stewards/helpers will always be more than happy to help you. 😊 everyone has to start somewhere!
