We are super excited have over 200 entries at The Pony Club Area 9 Dressage this Saturday (23rd July) at Park Piece on the prestigious Badminton Estate. We'd like to say a huge thank you to the second of our four class sponsors, Top Ride Surfaces, for their generous sponsorship of the Novice class.

Please take a look at their social media pages to see what they have to offer.

TopRide Equestrian Surfaces is a Cotswold-based family business which has designed a high quality and durable carpet fibre riding surface. It has been developed in conjunction with racehorse owners and trainers. Perfect for both gallops, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, the TopRide Fibre Surface is stable, shock-absorbing and is supremely easy to install. It can be placed directly onto stone with no pre-surface treatment required, just sufficient drainage. The surface is exceptionally easy to maintain and only ever occasionally requires rolling. In addition, it is truly all-weather and remains rideable even in midwinter freezing temperatures. You are welcome to come and try our surface for yourself.

Recommended by Beth Hobbs BHSII, Loneoak Stables and Training; “As an instructor I have many clients travel to me for lessons and every client has commented on how amazing they felt their horses work on this surface. We run numerous competitions through the summer where we can have in the region of 60 competitors going down the centre line, and at the end of the day you wouldn’t know that number of horses have been in the arena!”

🏇 Will not freeze when the winters turn chilly
🏇Is incredibly easy to install - it can be laid over a level stone base
🏇 Is very resilient & durable, no matter how many horses go up and down the centre line or round the same course of jumps!

As weddings should be able to go back to normal again later on this summer, are any of our followers planning for their horse to be part of the ceremony? We think it's such a lovely idea - but the combination of white dresses and horses does make us nervous... 👩‍❤️‍👨🏇

As it's Cheltenham week we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit this quote from Grand National-winning jockey Daryl Jacob! He has ridden on our track in Gloucestershire many times and he says:

“I am very impressed with the condition of the surface, horses hold themselves well and move very freely. But it is a solid workout for the horses and there has been many a good horse trained on carpet fibre, the results are there in black and white and all top trainers now use this surface.”

We've all met a horse like this, haven't we? To be fair, we would rather have one who immediately behaves when they see a bucket instead of still refusing to be caught...! 🙈🐴

13/03/2021

Now that many horse owners are preparing for a return to competition, we bet lots of you feel a little bit like this! It's just so true...! 😝

It was a really cold old winter this year, wasn't it Quite a few weeks where the ground was frozen solid and that made working horses really hard. If it has made you decide to invest in a riding arena of your own, why not take a closer look at TopRide? It's perfect for both gallops and riding arenas and it's stable, shock-absorbing and is supremely easy to install.

Please feel free to DM us if you have any questions!

Does your horse love to use a fence post to scratch their rump? Perhaps you'd prefer they left the fence upright, in which case we love this clever idea for giving horses something to scratch on and using up old dandy brushes!

It seems that last weekend's sunshine and warmer weather was an excellent example of the 'false spring' that February can so often bring, A little glimpse of what's to come before some chiller weather returns...

Has anyone had some frost this morning? We know our TopRide customers will be able to carry on regardless thanks to the all-weather surface!

This is such sad news to read - we hope the British horses stuck in Europe stay healthy and safe and that this horrible disease can be contained. https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/international-competition-halted-owing-to-rapid-evolution-of-ehv-1-outbreak-738948

We love welcoming people to our farm to try the TopRide surface before they commit to buying it for their arena or gallop. Plus, it's very good fun to take your horse for a spin on a proper gallop like ours!

Here's hoping we can invite you back again before long... 🐴🌞

We know how super-dooper busy horse owners and yard mangers are, which is why we're so pleased that our arena and gallop surface needs virtually no maintenance at all! You only need to roll it occasionally to keep it in tip top shape = perfect... 😎 🐎
