“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.

🐴Looking back on our Mini Clear Round Day…
We loved welcoming so many young riders (and lots of older ones, too!) to Lodge Farm for a fun day of showjumping on grass and cross-country.
The whole idea behind the day was to give inexperienced combinations the chance to have a go in a friendly, relaxed environment; to build confidence and, most importantly, have fun.
We had lots of positive feedback:
💬 “The Mini Clear Round day was fantastic! It was such an inviting and confidence-building course for younger riders, and it was brilliant to have the showjumping on grass too. There was such a friendly atmosphere, and the whole event was so well run. A huge thank you to the team – we had a great time and are already looking forward to the next one!”

We’re already thinking about next year’s events… would you like to see another Mini Clear Round Day? Do you prefer a clear round format or our traditional Eventers Practice Days? 👀👇

🐴 Good news… The mini fences are staying!
Our mini fences (30-50cm) will be staying out until we close for the season on 31 October.
They’re perfect for building confidence, introducing a horse or rider to cross country, or simply having a fun schooling session without the pressure of bigger fences.
We’ve loved seeing so many of you making use of them – and there’s still plenty of time to come and have a go!
📅 Open throughout October, including two extra half-term Tuesdays: 20 & 27 October.
📲 Book your session via our website (link in bio). Come and enjoy Lodge Farm before the end of the season!
