for a really good value-for money sj training session. It's bring your own horse and practise fence bod, but for £12, you get an unlimited amount of warmup and three goes (and they were very flexible about an extra go at a duff combi) round a properly constructed, full course of nice showjumps. In the jumping arena (which was indoors this time) there were fence altering people with cheery smiles and helpful attitudes. The warmup was on an equally new, top of the range surface, floodlit and mega huge, but you do need a fence helper.

The parking is excellent - secure and clean, the welcome warm and the facilities up there with the very best.

Here's were we went (along with lots of others, though it wasn't at all a crush) and I really recommend it for an out of any description. Dead easy to find and about 250yards off a main road. We'll be going again for sure. :) :) :) :) :) Plus, I got to meet FRESHMAN! Now there's a whole other story, but I don't think I could consider livery anywhere else - if I had to move from home, having seen her set up. Green, moi? Yes, I am.

NB If this gets button pushed as an 'ad' I won't be happy. It's not. It's a genuine, here's a place to go - like Somerford, Kelsall Hill, Boomerang and any other hundreds of venues and pay as you ride facilities that get mentioned and recommended on here. It gets my vote and I'm tough to please. It was much better than it sounded in the website ad - which I deliberately haven't linked to ;) The actual venue is just a bit further along the road.

Went there a couple of years ago to view a horse - amazing place!

Didn't know they did stuff like that, am off to google the website...cheers!
 
That sounds fab, what a lovely idea. Not far from me either.

Just a shame ginger arab will a) not load (not tried in months- rare daylight hours are for riding not loading!)

b) not jump, and never tried over a coloured pole

and c) i can't tow anyway:rolleyes:
 
If he was just slightly less neurotic and i had transport it would be perfect for a first time out over coloured poles. But yes, a few tiny issues lol :D Times like this i wish i had a simple, easy and sensible horse :p
