We have had a busy week out competing with Jo and Rio, Caroline and Pippin, and Barbara with Jasper out at the British Dressage Regionals at Keysoe International this week. Lovely to be out and about.

Our training sessions are proving to be very popular, with many more mature riders joining us. If you would like further information please email and we will be happy to try and help. Please note we do not offer lessons to young children, beginner, lead rein or very novice lessons.

We are pleased to announce that we have continued to receive a 5 star rating from Bedford Borough Council for our Riding School Licence on renewal.

Super day out competing at Keysoe International.

Ted and Ethan produced a lovely test in British Dressage, scoring a very respectable 69.16% for 2nd place.

So great to be out and about today, first competition this year at Keysoe International, competing in the British Dressage, Petplan area festival. Pippin and Jasper behaved beautifully.

Such glorious weather to mark our reopening today for our riding lessons. So lovely to welcome you all, great to see how keen you are to get going again and for the lovely comments we received.

Following the Government Announcement last Monday and confirmation from the British Horse Society , we can now open once again for our training sessions of 5 riders + 1 coach, to fit with the Government Guidelines from 29th March.
We are only able to accommodate at this time bookings from competent riders, due to social distancing and procedures that we have in place.
For this reason we regret that we cannot offer lead rein or beginner lessons at this time.
Please see our Riding Lesson Page for our Booking Policy.
By booking a lesson you will have read and accepted these conditions.

Now we are moving towards winter, with the weather becoming more unpredictable, please do ring and check before setting off that your lesson will be going ahead if the  weather conditions look uncertain.

We have had a fantastic two days out competing British Dressage at Keysoe.

We will no longer be able to offer hats and other personal equipment for lessons. When we are able to reopen all riders will need to have their own hats, schooling whips, boots and gloves. As from 2023 all Riding hats most confirm to the following standards.

Following Government guidelines, we have sadly temporarily closed for lessons at the moment. We will continually be reviewing the situation and hope it will not be too long before we can reopen. We will look forward to welcoming back our loyal customers when the time is right.

Thank you for your support and lovely emails that we have received.

Our Best wishes to you all and stay safe.

We have had another fantastic summer, welcoming many new riders and returnees who wished to start riding again.

We are very proud of our Dressage competition results over the summer season, with many of our riders and horses delivering super results.

 We finished the Summer season on a great high with two of our riders, Caroline and Pippin & Ethan with Ted achieving not only qualification for the Pet Plan Dressage Area Festivals, but Ethan with Ted winning 5th and Caroline with Pippin a very respectable placing.

We are pleased to announce that under the new Riding Licensing Regulations, Tinsleys has achieved the top 5 Star rating.

We are very excited to have Pippin our very popular Riding School horse, featured with Caroline who is the British Dressage Finance Director. Caroline with Pippin is part of our Horse Scheme, where they both train and compete in Dressage.

We have enjoyed a great end to the year, celebrating with our annual Christmas supper and visit to Olympia Horse Show to watch the Freestyle Grand-prix Dressage.

A beautiful morning to start off the New Year, horses enjoying the early morning sun.

We took two of our horses and riders out to compete in the Dressage at Keysoe and had a fantastic day, with Caroline and Pippin winning both of the classes and Jo and Rio coming 2nd to Pippin.

This year we are celebrating 40 years of running our Riding School, and wish to thank our riders for all of their support.

We have many loyal clients, and have a number who have been with us for many years and also 2nd and 3rd generations!

The last  two weeks of Dressage Competitions has seen some super results.

Ted ridden by Daisy posted two fantastic wins in both Prelim classes with good scores of 69.31% and 69.77%.

Ted then went out with Jess scoring a respectable 67.90% in the Prelim class and then went on to win Teds first Novice test with 70.22%.

Holly and Pippin came home with a 3rd and 4th Well done to all of you.

We have had another great year of success out competing at Dressage competitions.
Many different combinations of riders and horses have been out and it's great to see how the hard work has paid off.

We are very proud of our horses, as come the weekend they are teaching people to ride, many who have not sat on a horse before, come mid- week,  they then up their game and go out competing, usually with success. This season we also had some of our younger riders going out, coming home with 1st, 2nd and 4th. Well done to you all.

In March 2017, after 39 years in our previous stables, we have now relocated to our new premises. We are excited about our new facilities and the large arena is proving to be very popular.

All of the horses and ponies have settled extremely well and are liking their light and airy new stables

SUNSET STERLING:

We had a great finish to the year 2016, with Holly riding Pippin competing in the Dressage at Keysoe, winning the Prelim 2 with 70.34% and 2nd in Prelim 7 with 71.14%, with Barbara riding Austin coming 3rd in the class.

The following day, Holly again had a good result on Pippin, coming 2nd to Rio being ridden by Hannah who came 1st with 70%.

Well done to you all.

It is lovely that now one of our regular competitors has moved on to become a jockey, his mother has now started competing in Dressage on Ted, after many years of supporting and being full time groom!! Let's hope this combination will prove just as successful.

Dougal has also made his debut in Dressage competition, being extremely well behaved for first time out.

This year so far has seemed to have flown past, with the longest day now gone we still have the rest of the Summer to enjoy. We have been out and about with our new partnerships who have taken very well to competitions, with much success, the seasoned competitors also notching up many wins and good placings.

A great start to Caroline and Pippins competition dressage season, being placed 3rd on their 1st ever outing, and then 1st and 2nd with good scores of 65.75% and 64.58% on their 2nd outing. Excellent.

Oliver and Rio have had 3 wins out of 3 dressage classes, so the bar has been set high!!   
Well done to both riders.
