We are located just outside the quiet village of Rusper, bordering Crawley and Horsham and just 15 minutes from the M25/Gatwick area. We are a quiet, friendly, family-run yard and we will always endeavour to put the wellbeing of horse and rider fi

We have 120 acres of off-road and woodland hacking* with 15 optional cross country jumps and good access to alternative bridleways. Our range of facilities include a 25m x 45m all-weather menage installed with a Martin Collins sand/fibre mix surface, a 20m x 25m indoor floodlit lungeing/schooling barn with mirrors, airy 12' x 12' stables with automatic drinkers and rubber matting available at owner's discretion, secure tack room, dedicated rug-hanging area, AYTO with post and rail/post & electric fencing (individual grazing available), box/trailer parking available (first come first serve basis due to space limitations) and direct access to 120 acres off-road hacking.

A rare livery opportunity has become available at Bridgehill Farm Livery (the home of Prime Ponies, near Gatwick).
Exclusive vacancy available for *DISCOUNTED* Training or Competition Livery (DIY/Assisted/Full options available).
In return for a discounted livery rate & training, I am looking for a horse to produce to event/SJ alongside a like-minded owner.
Criteria 15hh - 16.2hh (will possibly consider bigger), 4yo and above. Green is fine but the horse must have the ability/potential to jump up to 1.10m and be already proven round small courses.
A bit about me:
I have broken & produced many young horses/ponies to event including my (now retired) eventer who I competed to BE100 and schooled Novice. I have competed up to Medium level dressage on my own and clients' horses. I joined BS last year with hopes to further my career in showjumping but unfortunately my ride broke down with arthritic front feet before we had a chance to get going. I still have an active BS membership but no horse to ride as my stock is primarily ponies, so I am unable to compete affiliated on them.
I can offer a variety of training to suit individual requirements, in the form of lessons, schooling and ground-work at a discounted rate (negoitiable), in return for up to 2 competition outings a month and a contribution towards entry fees.
Bridgehill Farm boasts indoor and outdoor floodlit arenas with mirrors, 120 acres off-road hacking, AYTO, access to a selection of SJs and XC fences on-site, grass dressage arena,12 x 12ft loose boxes, wash bay, hard-standing lorry parking, individual grazing, post-electric fencing, knowledgeable staff and management living on site, exceptional service and attention to detail.
If this interests you and you think your horse is the right fit, please don't hesitate to get in contact with me.

Joe meets Daisy (my 6 month old niece). He is such a gentle soul. He must get it from his lovely mumma Paula Warsap π₯°

TGIF π
Hands up if you're as exhausted as little Caz here πββοΈπ
Two of our gentle giant residents at BHF.
Jakub (left) who is our longest standing livery member of 7 years & the largest horse on the yard at 17.3hh!! Next to Jakub is the loveable George - just 3 years old and already not far off Jakub's gargantuan heights.
Today was the first time they went out in the field together and they are already thick as theives. π
A slightly belated, but warm welcome to Laura, Michelle, Myles & Elodie. Rising 6yo Donald has only ever been for short training trips with us, but he's now a resident here at the farm. π
Say cheeeeeeeese!
Our long term resident Jakub is certainly happy it's the weekend!
Looking for a new home π‘
Lola's got that Friday feeling! π€ͺ
Happy Friday from BHF, have a great weekend everyone!
Thank you to the Clements family for the new arena letters!
With a new year comes a big switch up for BHF. β οΈ
After many many years running at full capacity, we have scaled down substantially and will be providing a very limited & exclusive livery service to staff & friends of the farm.
The horse industry can be a tough one at the best of times, and after 10 years + of providing livery services on a larger scale we are officially shutting the doors to future livery clients. This being said, we will still have occasional opportunities for short-term training/breaking/sales livery in the future.
Here's to a happier, healthier yard and a more productive working environment! π₯³π₯
Also, keep your eyes peeled for more foals as BHF develops their breeding programme! π΄
Merry Christmas you filthy animals, from all the filthy animals here at the farm π€ͺ
Little Lola hiding away from the storm in our tea room today. π
I just can't get enough of my foal baby π
Chance always ensures he gets his beauty sleep - must be why he's so damn good looking (I know I'm biased but tell me that's not an attractive foal, I dare you π€π³).
Please see the What Three Words location for the access point for the Hunt Meet tomorrow.
Don't forget to sign in & complete your disclaimer if you are planning on coming.
This is the what3words address for a 3 metre square location near Gossops Green, Sussex.
Last week we welcomed two new (but familiar faces) to Bridgehill Farm. π
Meet Roma & Mo, owned by the Clements Family - Matt, Kate, Bethany & Mia.
Before moving the horses in, Mia was a regular at the yard - helping me produce the majority of my ponies for the last year as my mini co-pilot!
They already feel like part of the furniture & BHF family. π
Team outing to Felbridge featuring matchy matchy ponies Bella & Brandy. Lovely to see everyone jump successfully especially after a long hiatus from jumping for groom Jaime! π
Bridgehill Farm has it's first foal!
All the horses are rather intrigued by the little guy who is determined to sabotage everyone's schooling sessions whilst leaping around the field. ππ³
Meet Chance, a c**t by Coco x Jigilo (Heartbreaker x Jumbo lines).
He is everything I wanted from a sports horse baby, but jheeeez I'm going to have my work cut out with him as he is SO independent already and so damn cheeky. He's 3 weeks old tomorrow. π₯°
It's so lovely to see Team BHF reap the rewards of their hard work recently.
Sarah and Henry have achieved multiple wins across a number of outings to date, their recent efforts being accompanied by a lovely write up from Out and About Dressage Ltd (Picture 1). π
Lucy and Buttons have been working hard on the rehab side of things post-op. Buttons is thriving from Lucy's patience and persistence and today I watched Lucy get back on board for the first time in 5 months, such a huge milestone for them both. (Picture 2). π
Sharer Claire (B) has been out eventing on Paula's horse - Joe - and recently bagged two 3rds at consecutive events. π
Groom Jaz and sharer Clare (D) have been eventing on two of my pony productions and gained a 5th and a 7th place. Jaz also rode her own horse Joe in their debut prelim test last weekend and won the class! (Picture 3 + 4) π§‘
Go team!

Over 200 bales collected in from the field & stacked in the barn before the rain on Thursday night! Phewwww! A busy week for team BHF! π A special mention to all my staff working tirelessly on the yard in the recent heat, we couldn't function without you so thank you all for your hard work and dedication!
Two of our residents entertaining themselves last week ππ€£ I can't work out whether Eddie is trying to share the water or chuck it at Harry π€·ββοΈππ
What a great turnout for our annual Kent & Surrey Bloodhounds hound exercise meet on 2nd September. We were blessed with beautiful weather and lots of happy horses and riders.
As much as I think we'd all be grateful for some rain right now... at least one resident at BHF is making the most of the dry conditions π€£π Coco showing off her yin yang style dust mask π
We have the lovely Georgia with us on work experience this week, along with her boy Blake who is joins us to make the most of the facilities and training here at BHF. βΊπ
Making the most of the hacking facilities at BHF on my recently backed youngster! A great experience for a baby π
I managed to sneak a peak of Liz & Es' Jenku Mastery lesson on my coffee break last week. I'm so grateful of having the indoor school to be able to practice liberty work in a safe environment. It's so lovely to see lots of us here at Bridgehill Farm making the most of Jenku's training π Like minded horses and people! π
Fun for everyone in the arena! (Disclaimer: doggy debauchery only takes place when the arena is not in use π).
The resident bucket cleaners here at BHF... introducing Eddie and his assistant Es. Naughty boy Eddie tipped over my wheelbarrow of empty (jokes on you Ed!) feed buckets and decided to investigate further... a handful of buckets made their way to Es who followed suit π Thank you to Liz Lanphier Evans for capturing this magic moment π #ButterWouldntMelt #WhoMe π€
