Hi
have just moved the horse to Shilton nr Burford and wondered where the nearest tackshop, feed merchants, xc course and riding club were??

Thanks in advance
P :-)
 
I no longer live there but it is a fab place, I used to be a member of West Oxfordshire Riding Club, a very active and nice club that I would recommend joining. There are shows at The Blue Cross centre in Burford from time to time and you are close to Hunters and Blewbury for Affiliated stuff. Nearest tack shop would be WFS in Witney and that is a feed merchants too. As for cross country - Ascot under Wychwood which is a BE (I think) accredited course is fab.
 
What Laafet says! I just moved from that area at the weekend. Theres also evenlode riding club that hold events at Lyneham and surrounding area.

You are quite close to Cotswold farm park that hold fun rides at least monthly if not twice monthly which has loads of xc jumps and is a fantastic ride.

There is a countrywide store in witney too that has an equestrian section and feed (I used to use both this and WFS as WFS sold a larger selection of supplements and ointments etc).

Lyneham also have a xc course from 2'6 - 3'3.

Hill Farm Livery yard in witney hold a mini ODE twice a year - next one in sept.

Loads of horse shows around the area - asthall horse show July 11th

I could go on and on - great place to keep your horse - PM me if you want any more info or vet/farrier/dentist recommendations
 
Im there, and just experimenting with some events - Hill Farm is a good one! :)
West Ox riding club is very good, nice and active - variety of events.
I try everything on for size in Countrywide in witney, then look for it on Ebay ;)
WFS i have yet to find... :P
 
There is always plenty going on in this area, also Atacanter have a horsbox Hire depot at Shilton, which is very handy.
 
directions to witney farm supplies:

depends where you live really but I can give you directions from countrywide in witney! turn left at the roundabout when you exit countrywide. take the next left at the traffic lights. straight on at the next 2 roundabouts and straight on through the traffic lights. Turn left at the traffic light controlled t-junction towards minster lovell. straight over the next traffic lights past the junction for crawley and wfs in on your left near a mechanics garage from memory.
