Our centre has recently been refurbished to a high standard and has a total of 7 loose boxes that can also be converted to stalls. There is a large Floodlit Outdoor Menage as well as a small fully enclosed Arena and a Round Pen and we have easy access to excellent off road trekking and riding. The Hayloft is a perfect area for teaching, socialising and getting warm on a chilly day with comfortable seating, a tea or coffee and free Wi-Fi Internet access available to all clients. We have our Tack Shop and Tuck Shop for those looking for something to buy or looking for something to eat. Downstairs we have our office and a disabled toilet and changing facility. The actual yard is inside and covered and is therefore ideal for teaching stable management or other activities that would normally be done outside.
