“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.
