All stabled liveries are housed in the two main american barn blocks with 14 stables in each block. The stables measure 12'6" x 12'. All these stables have windows, which open and close, hay racks, automatic water drinkers and feed mangers.

Any grass liveries requiring a stable for tacking up or illness use the smaller block of stables, new block.

An isloation block is available for visiting horses for clinics etc.


Car Parking

There are sufficient areas for parking both cars for visiting and lorries for clinics or lessons.

 

Public Address System

The PA system has a multi input amplifier with attached “lollipop” microphone and radio microphones. There are speakers covering all of the seating areas and also in the Dutch Courage Room.

 

Lights

The lights in the international arena and indoor school are high-pressure sodium lights which give an even spread of clear bright light. There are also a few lights onto the outdoor school.

 

BSJA Show Jumps

There is a set of BSJA standard show jumps all colour co-ordinated with red, white, blue, green, pink and yellow. Gates, brushes and palisades are included in the set, together with sufficient cups for poles and gates. The erection, design and dismantling of the course are the responsibility of the hirer.


Practice Jumps and Blocks

This group of fences is designed for the practice area, not for the whole course. There are working wings and approximately 10 rough poles.

 

Dressage Planters/Markers and Boards

The square planters not only act as the letters for an Olympic size dressage arena but can also be filled with flowers for a decorative effect. The boards are required for the two long sides of the arena to make the Olympic size of 60m by 20m. Erection and dismantling of the arena boards are the responsibility of the hirer.

 

Office

There is a purpose built office on the ground floor of the international arena. Further office and secretarial facilities may be available.

 

Dutch Courage Room

The upstairs function room is overlooking the international arena has the facilities for a full bar and catering facilities. This room is available for separate hire on its own. Any kind of function can be catered for from small meetings to larger events with the International Arena. There is no catering company on site now, but the local pub regularly provide a mobile service for us.
