Simply click on the type of hire you wish to book, and a calendar with all known dates for that type of hire are listed. Extra sessions may become available if we have changes to our schedules so do check back. As a guide, what type of hire that is available will be determined by what type of competitions we are running in that period. For example, Arena Eventing hires are only available near an Arena Eventing competition, as the XC fences require use of the farm machinery to move them about. We cannot just set them out as and when. But this gives you an idea of what is likely to be available by checking out the Competition Calendar. You can book hires for up to 90 days ahead. If you wish to schedule further than this please email us to see if this is possible.

Plus as a livery yard there may be other horses moving around the centre, with farriers, clipping etc.

As a working yard, please be aware that although your hire books exclusive use of your chosen arena, the yard is home to a few liveries and there may well be movement of horses around the property or vehicles used for the running of the centre. Everyone always aims to be as mindful as possible towards hirers, but we cannot guarantee complete quiet or no movement.

Each session includes up to 3 horses. We charge £5 extra per horse, up to a maximum of 5 per session for the Quarry, and 4 for the Covered All-Weather.

Unfortunately, following the energy price hike 22/23, we cannot not, charge a Floodlight surcharge.

A horse will not be permitted to compete or train unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza that complies with the following conditions.

An initial course of two injections for a primary vaccination, not less than 21 days and not more than 92 days apart, are required before being eligible to compete. A first booster injection must be given between 150 – 215 days after the second injection of the primary vaccination.

Subsequent booster injections must be given at regular intervals of no more than 12 months, commencing after the first booster injection. A full course or booster injection must have been administered at least 7 days before arriving at the competition.

The vaccination record (s) in the horse’s passport, must be completed, signed and stamped line by line, by an appropriate veterinary surgeon who is neither the owner nor the rider of the horse.

In the interests of equine welfare and to maintain optimum protection levels for your horse, it is strongly recommended that the most recent booster injection is given within six months + 21 days prior to the horse competing.

The responsibility to comply with this rule lies with the competitor, who should consult with their veterinarian.

WE DO CHECK PROOF OF VACCINATION FOR ALL ATTENDING HORSES OCTOBER - MAY, AND RANDOM CHECKS APRIL - SEPTEMBER. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU BRING THIS.

Photos clearly showing the correct vaccinations for the horse or vet invoice is also accepted.

Horses being found without adequate and up to date vaccinations will not be allowed to compete and will not be allowed to compete until such a time that they have been given their first and second vaccinations.
