PLEASE NOTE FOREST EDGE ARENA AND OFFICE ARE CLOSED ON MONDAYS

WE WILL BE ADDING A 20+ FENCE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE TO OUR FACILITIES THIS YEAR WITH HEIGHTS FROM 60cms.  This will enable us to run extra events and add this discipline to our schooling days.  Work on this is progressing well, it is all looking very exciting with Steve, Ben & Peter planning all sorts of innovative jumps. There are all sorts of ditches, coffin, steps and a water splash dug out and logs appearing everywhere!  It should be finished ready for open schooling on Thursday 6th May.

THE INDOOR SURFACE IS NOW COMPLETED WITH AN ANDREWS BOWEN PRO-WAX SURFACE.  THIS SURFACE IS THE BEST AVAILABLE AND IS USED AT THE HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW, N IRELAND INTERNATIONAL HORSE SHOW, THE BRITISH OPEN SHOWJUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS AND MANY OTHER PRESTIGIOUS CENTRES.  The benefits of changing to this surface will be a consistant, secure, dust-free surface, supporting the horses natural movement and reducing repetative strain injury.  It will allow us to hold a greater variety and higher standard of competitions.

A  new 40 x 20m surfaced (pro-wax) practice arena is also complete and ready for use and the new standing and spectator areas are also finished. 

We have used some of the original indoor surface to provide the basis for a purpose made, 100 x 45 mt grass arena on the far side of the indoor arena, complete with Derby Bank!.  The arena has now been levelled, stone-picked, and seeded and will be regularly watered & cut, providing a grass arena suitable for use from the 2010 summer season, which we can keep in a top class condition. 

The indoor toilets and showers have now been completed.   Thank you for your patience while this was carried out.   We will also be completing  the landscaping in several areas, as well as generally continuing to improve the facilities for your enjoyment.
