Events 2025/26


Pony Days 

October 28th, 29th & 30th 

December 29th, 30th & 2nd Jan

Pony Days are our most popular activity at the riding school and they fill up quickly! Whether it's your child's first time riding or they’re seasoned pros, they’re guaranteed to have a fantastic day filled with fun and learning. Running from 10am to 4pm, our Pony Days are structured around a certificate system, providing children with a sense of accomplishment as they progress through three gradings.

Each grading includes both stable management and riding sections that must be completed before they can earn their certificate. We understand that it may take more than one Pony Day to complete a certificate.

Throughout the day, children will engage in a variety of activities, including:

  • Mucking out
  • Grooming and learning to pick out their horse's hooves
  • Identifying parts of the grooming kit
  • Learning how to saddle a horse
  • Riding twice
  • Plaiting
  • Bathing (weather permitting)
  • Plus, lots of fun games!

The cost for the day is £70, with a £30 deposit required to secure a spot. Please note that cancellations within 24 hours of the Pony Day will require full payment. 

 

 

HRS End of Year Show!

Show kicks off at 10 AM 31st December!

Class one- 50cm Speed Stakes

10 jumps in a timed challenge.

Class two- Pairs Jumping 

This is all about teamwork! Two riders will take turns tackling a course of ten jumps each. They then have to swap over a baton during the changeover box! This means that timing and coordination are key. This showcases the partnership between riders, as well as their ability to work together under pressure.

Class three- Accumluator

A progressive round where fences increase in height, from 50cm to 90cm. Points are awarded per fence, eg: Fence 1= 1 point, Fence 10= 10 points. If a fence is knocked down, no points are awarded for that fence. Refusals are allowed but will waste valuable time. The competitor with the highest score wins.

Class four- Ride & Run

The rider completes a timed round of 10 fences, followed by a runner tackling a festive obstacle course.

Classes 1, 2 & 3 are £12.50 each

Pairs Jumping, is £25 for a team of two!

These will then go into a random AI selection, which guarantees that you will compete on one of your chosen three horses. Please note: You must have ridden each horse at least four times before the competition. This system is not intended as an opportunity to try a new horse. This approach ensures fairness and gives everyone the chance to compete on a horse they know and enjoy.
