At times it may be set up with Polework Patterns or as a 20x60 Dressage arena with white boards and flowers.

    We’ll always try to have the diary set up with which set-up will be available but please check in with us after booking just to double-check set up at time of your hire.

  • Our bright and welcoming Indoor Arena with its Andrews Bowen training surface and viewing gallery. Sessions are 1 hour and limited to a maximum of 4 horses. This arena is largely for flatwork and polework, although a couple of small jumps can also work in here. 23m x 38m.

  • Our Technical XC field on grass, weather dependent and also limited to a max of 4 horses - available from July’25 for lessons only just now (ie hire with tuition from Gemma Kennedy or Totleywells permitted instructor, but will be available for hire in the future. Give Gemma a call to book in for your lesson, or if you’d like to come with your own instructor we can arrange this as long as the instructor has suitable insurance. Please note

    Riders ride all facilities at their own risk.
    Use of the cross‑country field requires:
    • A body protector compliant with EN 13158 Level 3 / BETA Level 3 / ASTM F1937 or F2681 / SEI-certified
    • A helmet compliant with current ASTM F1163 / PAS 015 / VG1 / SNELL standards, worn with harness properly secured.”

    Should we have to change your booking due to a change in availability, or ground/weather conditions, we will call you to discuss alternatives that would suit you.

Our new Technical XC Field is open for lessons with Gemma Kennedy and Guest Instructors currently. We are hoping to open for hire in the near future.

Our Technical XC has 31 jumping elements including 40cm, 60cm and 1m banks, a water splash, roll-tops, hay carts, etc. The course was set out by Gemma Kennedy and David Gatherer to create flow and technical lines, allowing riders to practice individual elements then add up. The jumps are between 40cm and 1m but most are currently in the 60-90cm range. Next year we are opening another Technical XC Field (20 acres) to the south of our new Grazing Land. The field is currently only open for Lessons to control numbers on the ground and get a view of any changes required, while we make finishing touches, allow the grass to repair from where we’ve worked. We hope you will book in for a lesson or two and then come back for hire once we open the hire facility.
