🌟 WORKING LIVERY OPPORTUNITY 🌟

We have one rare Working Livery space becoming available this September!

We are looking for a novice ride, 15hh and above, to join our Working Livery team at Coleg Gwent.

Older school masters requiring careful management are very welcome, the ideal horse must be safe, sensible, and enjoy a varied working environment. A good level of schooling and jumping experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.

🐴 5⭐ care tailored to each individual horse
🐴 Experienced and supportive team
🐴 Indoor and outdoor facilities
🐴 BHS Approved Centre

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right horse to enjoy a caring, professional environment with plenty of individual attention.

Coleg Gwent Equestrian Centre – Update

Following a recent increase in confirmed cases of Equine Influenza across Wales and the Border regions, Coleg Gwent has taken the decision to cancel all competitions and organised equine events until the end of May. This position will be formally reviewed at that time in line with current guidance and any further developments.

This decision has been made after careful consideration of the potential risks, the impact on participants, and the importance of preventing further transmission within the equestrian community. While we recognise the inconvenience this may cause, we believe this is the most responsible and proportionate action at present.

The health and welfare of our resident horses, visiting horses, and the wider equine community remain our highest priority. By temporarily reducing large-scale activity on site, we aim to support wider disease-control efforts and allow owners and riders to monitor horse health and ensure vaccinations are fully up to date.

We would like to reassure all stakeholders that there are currently no horses on site displaying symptoms of Equine Influenza. This decision is being taken purely as a precaution in response to the wider regional situation.

Entries and Refunds

All competitions and organised equine events scheduled up to the end of May have been cancelled.

Where possible, competition entries will be automatically transferred to the next available suitable event.

If you are unable to attend a future event or would prefer to request a refund, please contact [email protected].

Facility Hire Arrangements

Individual and small-group facility hires will continue to operate at this time, as these activities can be managed under enhanced biosecurity procedures and with significantly reduced numbers on site.

All users attending facility hires must provide up-to-date vaccination records prior to arrival via email to [email protected] . Spot checks will be carried out.

We kindly ask that no horses or individuals attend the site if they are from a yard with a confirmed case of Equine Influenza, or if any horses are displaying symptoms associated with the virus. Your cooperation in these measures is essential to safeguarding horse welfare and supporting the wider equestrian community.

We will continue to closely monitor official guidance and will share further updates as the situation evolves.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support.

Thank you for joining us at our Health, Wellbeing and Progression Roadshow! 🐴💙
It was fantastic to have the BHS with us sharing valuable insights into the equestrian industry and highlighting the positive impact horses can have on health and wellbeing.

We’re so pleased to hear the students enjoyed the discussions and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions throughout the day. It was great to work together to inspire the next generation! 👏
