About Hoplands

Hoplands Equestrian Centre is one of the most prestigious equestrian training centres in the South of England. We are located just outside of the village of King's Somborne, near Stockbridge.

We offer facility hire throughout the year, organise training clinics and run unaffiliated dressage and showjumping competitions on a monthly basis. Our clinics, which are suitable for riders and horses of all abilities are taken by regular trainers who include Cindy Sims, Pat Burgess, Robert Pickles FBHS and Mark Corbett. We have also been fortunate to offer training with Lucinda Green MBE, Mary King and Ginny Elliot MBE.

Hoplands EC is also the base of top Australian eventer Sam Griffiths, and BE accredited trainer Sorrel Warwick. Both our residents offer training at Hoplands.

Our priority is to ensure we provide the best for our customers - well maintained facilities, great riding surfaces and a warm and friendly welcome.
