Somerford Premier League

This Friday sees the best of British Dressage arrive at Somerford Park for FOUR days of top class competition.  Grand Prix, Dressage to Music, Grandstand Seating, Tradestands, Hot and Cold Refreshments and a Bar (opening times apply).  For times and further details see the website www.somerfordpremierleague.co.uk

The Cross Country Schooling will be shut for the duration of the Premier League, but the Farm Ride will remain open.  Ring us on 01260 299888 to book.

Summer Ride Open

Finally we have had a little bit of warmth to start the grass growing!  The Summer Ride is now open, with the very popular paddle up the River Dane, and some new fences added.  In fact everything is open this weekend – ring us on 01260 299888 to book.  Don’t forget to bring your loyalty card with you when you come to the office to pay – collect 9 stickers and your 10th Ride is free!

XC Schooling OPEN

Now would be a good time to come and use the XC Schooling – the going is perfect………as you can see we are currently escaping the snow, and have put down lots of sand to keep the ground conditions as good as possible.  Even if it means changing your planned programme, these conditions are too good to miss and it might not stay this good if the rain comes back!

These pictures were taken on 27th March, let us hope it stays this way into April! 

Easter Opening

Weather permitting all facilities will be open over the Easter Holidays.  The Farm Ride will remain on the Winter Sand Track until the weather improves!  The XC Schooling is drying up nicely – we have had no snow here to speak of, but when the temperatures drop below freezing at night is is best to ring in the morning to book – it usually thaws out for dinner time.

The Yard Arenas are fine, no freezing there, and the show jumps are quite sheltered from the east wind, so they are staying upright!

We do have a small amount of haylage available for sale, in 100kg and 200kg bales.  Ring Ann on 01260 299888 for details, during office hours.
