Indoor Show Jump Schooling

Our next Indoor SJ Schooling sessions are Friday and Saturday 29th/30th January followed by Friday and Saturday 5th/6th February. On these days, a full course of 10-12 showjumps is set in the arena, with fillers, combinations, planks, etc. We ask you not to alter distances or move the fences, but you can set the heights to suit you at the start of your session.

The arena can be hired as normal at any other time, for either jumping or flatwork, but you will need to set the jumps to suit you if you wish to use them.

The cost is £20 for half an hour, £30 for 45 minutes or £40 for an hour. Note that instructors booking on behalf of clients normally qualify for a 25% discount on these prices, but that this discount does not apply on Show Jump schooling days. All prices are for up to 4 horses sharing the arena and include lights if needed.

Call 01794 388838 to book.
