Academy of Equine Studies

Chosen as an official training camp for teams in the 2012 Olympic Games, our top-class equestrian centre offers superb facilities, a welcoming atmosphere with efficient, friendly and experienced staff and a range of well-schooled horses and ponies that will enable you to realise your true potential.

The international-size indoor arena is modern, light and airy with a top-of-the-range gel track surface providing an exceptional learning environment for students. Our outdoor sand and rubber arena is an ideal shape for all equine activities and allows students to experience riding horses in the open.
 
Our equine centre hosts championship British Dressage and BSJA, which allows students the opportunity to be involved in assisting at high level competitions and builds links to work providers. Students are also encouraged to observe clinics and lecture demonstrations with top class trainers and professional riders to enhance their learning. We are also a British Horse Society (BHS) Centre, enabling students to sit their exams in familiar surroundings. We work closely with the BHS and have excellent pass rates.
