  • Use of our neighbouring 10acre field for hacking.

  • A mowed and marked out 20m x 40m grass dressage arena (Spring - Autumn use)

  • New for 2021 - A play field (with obstacles such as jumps, podium, etc.) COMING SPRING 2021

  • Use of any other paddocks for riding/ground work that are not currently occupied by livestock.

Off site riding/hacking:

  • Off-road hacking directly from the farm - bridlepath leading from the farm gates down a farm lane and into fields.

  • On-road hacking around the quiet village roads, which also lead to further scenic bridle paths.

  • Fantastic hacking at a variety of local woodlands: Aspley woods, Rushmere and Ashridge. 

  • Local school for hire just 10 mins away at Wing Jumping and Dressage Centre.

  • A variety of local competition and training centres from 20-30 mins drive away: Bury Farm EC, Quantion Stud, Tring Gallops etc

Future development plans:

  • Sand pits for sleeping and rolling 

  • Hardstanding extensions 

  • A water feature (summer use only!) - no wet rugs!!

  • Aiming to plant various herbs and trees so that the horses can self select (we planted 200 in 2019)

  • and any other ideas that we/liveries come up with that would enrich the track!
