Lodge Farm has a long-standing reputation for its excellent ground conditions, which we work extremely hard to maintain all year round. To this end, if it is too wet, we will close the course to avoid damage.
Riders must not use the course unaccompanied unless by prior arrangement.
While we welcome spectators, children and dogs (on short leads at all times) it is essential that everyone on site behaves responsibly to ensure the safety of riders and horses. Children on foot must not be allowed to climb on jumps and must be closely supervised AT ALL TIMES.
It is important to observe parking notices if wet.
You must have an up-to-date body protector and a hat without a fixed peak.
Please have consideration for other riders using the course as they may be inexperienced or riding young horses and do not use the fields for galloping or racing.
The footpath crossing the course is well used and priority must be given to walkers. Please make sure the footpath is clear before using jumps in the vicinity.
We reserve the right to ask people to leave if they do not abide by the terms and conditions of use of the facilities.
In the unlikely event that you will require an emergency vehicle, the postcode for the farm is TN12 7ET. The grid reference for the main cross-country field is TQ 65237 41017.
