MEMBERS FIELD REASSIGNED
The field allocated for Members to use is now Field 3 the 'showjumping' field at the end of the concrete spur from the top of the main drive. The usual facilities are in the process of being reinstated together with a new diddy Cross-country track around the perimeter. MAP

NEW BOUNDARY RIDE ROUTE
The new Boundary Ride is now available and for Health & Safety reasons to avoid conflicts with the cross-country track the hire course fields are roped off and out of bounds, as are the farmed fields except for designated tracks.
Already some irresponsible and inconsiderate riders have cut the ropes and strayed onto the reserved areas which is dangerous as well as selfish and anti-social, and if repeated those responsible will be reprimanded and charged for reinstatement of any damage caused and the Boundary Ride will be withdrawn. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Be extra vigilant and if you see anything or anyone suspicious near horses or stables call police: 0845 113 5000 or in emergency 999

Lost Property returned to the Office
We often find all kinds of leftovers after an event usually with no means of identifying the owner - gloves, hats, jackets, horseshoes, whips and occasionally even purses, cameras & mobile phones. If you are missing something and have no idea where you might have lost it, please call the office and ask - they also keep a list of lost items in case they turn up !

HORSE PASSPORT LAW
If you own a horse or are its main keeper you are responsible for ensuring it is correctly identified, but only the owner can apply for a passport. The horse owner or keeper should make sure its passport is available for inspection AT ALL TIMES. You don’t need to have the passport on hand when the horse is stabled, grazing or being moved on foot, but if you are asked for the passport at such times you must show it to the Inspector WITHIN 3 HOURS and failure to comply could incur a fine of up to £5,000 per horse.

There is also a reporting facility for horses lost or
stolen developed in collaboration with HorseWatch.
