Nervous Rider /Mischievous Horse Clinics with Victoria Ford Instructor page for information on Vix. These clinics are at the new Farley Hall Equestrian Centre on an 85x30 Softrak arena. One group will be for confidence-building nervous riders, the other for tackling those mischievous horses who don't like fillers/dressage boards/flowers, or who have a behavioural quirk like napping, resistance etc. £15 per rider per hour, small group. First clinic 6th Dec.
Malcolm Hunt Dressage Lessons at Chobham Park
£20 per rider - private 45min lesson

Julia Beesley Dressage Clinics
See Calendar for dates and booking. The purpose of these will be to progress up a level, from people wanting to move from Prelim to Novice, Novice to Elementary, or those who have never done a test at all and would like to try!
Cost will be £15/lesson and are held either at Ravenswood, Nine Mile Ride, or will be trying some out at the new Farley Hall Equestrian Centre.
PLEASE NOTE - from now on, no one will be able to book a clinic unless they have paid up front in full. You can no longer pay on Paypal.
Unavoidable cancellations will be refunded if your place can be filled, or if the venue will refund us - it's not about us making money, just not losing it!

From Reading/Hook:
Get yourself to Swallowfield, and then head towards Farley Hill/Arborfield. After two little hump-back bridges, you go around an S-bend, as the road straightens up you will see the orange pub The George and Dragon up ahead on the left. FHEC is just before it on the right.
Drive straight in and up behind the stables/barn, where you will see a flat area for parking. It is still having some building work during November so apologies!

After quarter of a mile or so the road goes round to the right, carry straight on the left fork down a steep hill signposted Police College again (Copes Lane). Go down and up the steep hill, after Ford Lane on your left, take the next right fork, a narrow lane, and Paynes Cottage is on your right.

Do not park in front of the racehorse barn, park by the bins or the grass mound.
From A327:
If you come through Eversley village, get to the roundabout where you would turn left to Eversley Cross/Yateley, but take the second exit (bearing right) towards Fleet/Hartley Wintney. Take the immediate right turn Bramshill Road. (From Yateley you would come to this roundabout and take the first exit.) Follow Bramshill Road for over half a mile and turn left onto Plough Lane signposted Police College. After 200yds the brick pillars of the police college are on the left.

From Bracknell/Crowthorne:
Stay on Nine Mile Ride until you cross Old Wokingham Road. The next junction is a crossroads with traffic lights. Turn left into the entrance of the site, it says Norwood Village.
