Available to hire the arenas not only welcome individual and groups of riders but also host all day events including British Dressage as well as non affiliated competitions run by local riding groups. The arena also hosts the IOW Petanque league, local football teams and is avail

Holiday livery is available in a modern well-lit stable complex with hot wash, solarium and horse-walker and dedicated tack and feed rooms and individual grazing if required. A safe on site hacking track approx 3 miles long suitable for riders of all abilities. A variety of lessons are available from pony rides for young children, pony pamper sessions, flat, pole and jumping lessons for individuals and groups, activity clubs and clinics with guest instructors throughout the year. The centre is RDA Accessibility Mark accredited and has a fully motorised hoist capable of lifting a wheelchair user directly from their chair onto horseback, as well as an adapted mounting block and specialist riding equipment. We also have one of the few Changing Places toilets on the Island with shower, hoist and adult changing bed. A charity run cafe provides hot and cold drinks and snacks with all profits supporting the Wighthorse CIC providing free and subsidised riding opportunities for disadvantaged children and young adults as well as those with physical limitations. In conjunction with HTP Apprenticeship College our classroom and yard hosts full time NVQ students working towards equestrian qualifications. The classroom is also available for private hire and already welcomes a number of local groups. We offer children's parties that can be themed as unicorn or knights with riding included and a private room is included for guests to provide their own food and drinks. Our onsite holiday accommodation in a range of 2,3 and 4 bedroom houses can sleep between 2 and 60 guests and our glamping safari tents can host schools and groups of up to 64 (schools only) as well as families during the Summer months and of course Isle of Wight Festival. Riding holidays are available to book with or without your own horse and include amazing beach and trail excursions high on everyone's 'bucket list'. Work is well under way on a fully licensed bar and restaurant with plenty of dining areas and a private function room for hire whilst large 'al-fresco' areas with stunning countryside views will no doubt be popular on warmer evenings.
