We are delighted to offer Equestrian Activities associated with the school, these activities include Show-jumping & Cross Country.
Students provide their own horse/pony and transport to and from events. The school facilitates the entries to the relevant shows that take place throughout the academic year & various training days when there are no local shows scheduled.
Students get to participate as part of the school team and they also participate in Individual events and are provided with the branded Equestrian school gear.
