“A wonderful cross-country site, interesting and beautifully maintained, with so many different types of fences – a far cry from a collection of boring roll-tops”
Lucinda Green, six-times Badminton winner
Lodge Farm Cross-Country Course offers more than 90 fences from 60cm to 1.10m including ditches, corners, arrowheads, skinnies, steps, lots of combinations plus two water complexes. The terrain is principally flat, but there is good use made of the natural features.
Set in 40 acres of well-maintained grassland it is ideal for schooling young horses, for a quick pre-event practice over a course of fences or for a training session with your instructor.
All fences have prepared take-offs and landings and the excellent viewing makes our course popular with instructors and parents.
Top riders who visit us on a regular basis include Francis Whittington, Will Furlong, Felicity Collins, Tom Crisp and Camilla Kruger.
We are open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, plus some extra days during school holidays, from the beginning of March until the end of October. Easy parking and good access from the M25 and A21.

‼️Bookings and payment ‼️
Just a reminder that when booking the cross-country course, payment is required for each horse.
Unfortunately, we’ve had a few instances recently where a booking has been made and one horse paid for, but two or more horses have arrived to use the course, or no booking has been made at all.
This is our business, and a considerable amount of time, work and money goes into keeping the course safe, maintained and in tip-top condition for everyone to enjoy. While we really don’t like having to say it, using the facilities without paying in full is essentially no different from taking a service without paying for it.
While the vast majority of our fantastic clients respect this, sadly it is becoming a more regular problem with the minority, so we’ll be carrying out more frequent spot checks on the course from now on.
Please make sure that every horse in your group is booked and paid for before using the course.
Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support us, book correctly and help us keep the course running. We’d much rather be spending our time on improvements and building new jumps than checking who has booked in and paid – and who has not! 😊🐎
