Equestrian Employer Details
We now have 3 separately staffed yards: Event Yard with Tom Bird: I am a young event rider who has ridden to 5* completing Burghley as the youngest competitor in 2023 and was 2nd at Bramham in the U25's. I have event horses ranging from youngsters being backed through to 5* Level with horses being aimed at Badminton, Bramham and Burghley including Sept 2024. Although I am younger I have grown up helping clients and would like to think that if you asked my staff or clients, they would say that I had excellent people skills The Livery Yard has adults with RC horses, younger children learning to compete and taking part in pony club, but we now have a lot of children with ponies working towards Pony Trials who need help and support both schooling their horses and at competitions. All are lovely - we are very lucky! The Riding School is very friendly encouraging clients to be involved in care of the horses rather than just arriving to ride. Many learn to compete on our school horses
