XC schooling for 4yo near Shropshire?

[sp96]

Hi, I'm looking to take my 4yo XC schooling for the first time in the next few weeks.

I am based in Shropshire and don't want to travel too far but willing to go a bit further if the venue is definitely worth it!

I'm looking to introduce him to everything and build his confidence - any ideas of the best places for this that are open for schooling now or will be within the next month?

Thanks

I'm near Bridgnorth and near me that are suitable for young horses are
Lincomb EC
Rudge riding
Woodside Farm, gnosall
Somerford Park

The only one out of those I know which are open is Somerford due to the wet weather.

That's great, thank you!

For lots of little fences I like Hadley farm xc, near whitchurch, it's quite compact and have something of everything

Somerford farm ride, is open at the moment , perfect for a youngster with lots of little inviting Fences , water ,steps etc

Agree with others and say Somerford
But you could also try Kelsall, their farm ride is open every day and includes parts of the water complex, plenty of smaller fences to try
Smallwood is another good one, but I think that it will be weather permitting
Hope you have a good time

Radfords (site of Llanymynech) is good but not yet open

We have a little course you are welcome to hire - but it's a bit soggy atm!
