Coleg Cambria Northop Equine Centre

Wow what a turnout for our final competition of 2018!! Everyone had made such an effort, there was some super dressage and lots of fantastically festive outfits!! Thank you for all your support this year. We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!!

Please see the times for Saturday's unaffiliated dressage. We have received huge amounts of entries so we apologise to those who have large gaps between times, although we have minimised this as far as possible by running 2 arenas. There will be a festive tuck shop selling hot drinks and snacks and there will also be a photographer on site for the event. Remember fancy dress/ Christmas jumpers are also optional!! Look forward to seeing you all!!

We are looking forward to the Unaffiliated dressage on Saturday, our last competition of 2018!! Due to a very large number of entries, and us not wanting our competitors to have hours between tests, we have had to make the decision to run in 2 arenas as we have on a couple of occasions previously. Therefore, the Senior Intro and prelim will run in an arena outside. All other classes will be in the Indoor arena. The working in for all classes will be in the top half of the outdoor arena. Any queries please contact pippa.norman@cambria.ac.uk

Public Appeal!
We have very recently had our quad stolen, please can anyone using the facilities be very careful to keep your vehicles locked when not in use.
Unfortunately, whoever stole the quad was someone familiar to the equine centre, they knew where we kept it overnight and had a plan for how to get it off the premises, so please be vigilant.
... I am saddened to think that anyone who knows us would do this.
If anyone knows anything about the stolen quad we would be very grateful for any information.
It was a 2012 red Honda 420.The serial number is IHFTE35W4D4600088 and is pictured below.

Great demo!

Coleg Cambria Northop Equine Centre alongside Coleg Cambria Workbased Learning are excited to be hosting a unique lecture demonstration with International Event Riders Sam Ecroyd and Emily King. Sam and Emily will be demonstrating, on their own horses, exercises that the audience will be able to use at home to develop their own horses. Tickets are available on Horse Monkey and there will be complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. For more information email pippa.norman@cambria.ac.uk or karen.jones@cambria.ac.uk

Due to a change in circumstances, we are currently looking for two new horses to loan. They need to be over 15 hands, and be able to jump a small course of fences of up to 90cm. We have several younger horses and ex-competition horses so would prefer something quiet and middle aged. Five star treatment and professional care awaits.
