Approved British Horse Society Riding Centre status!

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Farm Staff

The riding school has just been awarded the approval of the British Horse Society, following a rigorous inspection process to ensure safety and welfare standards for both students and ponies are up to a high standard.

Thank you to all our staff and volunteers who helped achieve this milestone achievement!

The project is now also making links with Hartpury College and established riding schools, as a means of career, volunteer and training development for young people and this year has seen financial support by the Police Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire and the Gloucestershire Community Foundation as well as organisations and businesses such as Countrywide Stores and Gloucester City Homes.
