Castle Copse Equestrian has opened its Grass Cross Country Course & Working Hunter Course and we have a full set of show jumps in the 25x60 sand/fibre arena. We have over 60 fences across 14 acres, including water / ditches / steps & a bank. The Working Hunter Course is also on grass, and you get access to both with your arena hire as well as the show jumps in the arena. Our XC fences range from 30cm - 80 cm, and our WH fences are fully adjustable, so something for everyone.

We welcome trainers onsite.

Please do not follow your satnav to get to us, as it sends you via roads suitable for cars but not for lorries / trailers. Please ONLY use the following directions https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:EU:ab673cf7-2357-42c5-8e56-baf8e44d9ecf

At busy times we will be ensuring the next person has arrived before the previous people leave, so no one meets another lorry / trailer on the lane. Please check with me before you leave here after your session so I can check no one due at the same time.
