Our busy calendar of events is now finalised for right up to May 2012. Please go to the what's on page for full event listings and schedules.

We’re constantly trying to improve our facilities and make your trips to Lime Kiln Farm enjoyable, so you will be pleased to know that building work on the viewing gallery/cafe has now finished. You can now enjoy a wider selection of hot plated food, whilst watching the action in the indoor arena.
Last year winter we also had comments that the indoor arena lighting was patchy in places, so extra lights have been installed ready for this winter's busy selection of shows.

Starting in January 2012 we are excited to announce that we will be a UK Riders and a Trailblazers approved centre. Enabling us to hold a variety of qualifiers for unaffiliated competitors. All our Unaffiliated Dressage & Showjumping shows will be affiliated to both of these organisations. In addition all our dressage shows are also affiliated to Veteran Horse Dressage, so if you ride a horse or pony 15years old or over, you have the opportunity to qualify for the Veteran Horse Dressage National Finals.

Our Unaffiliated Dressage shows are always popular competitions, so please remember to get your entries in early to avoid missing out.
Over the winter months we hold one Sunday show and one Thursday daytime show a month, with classes ranging from Walk&trot up to elementary.
The next Sunday dates are 6th November, 4th December, 29th January, 26th Febraury, 25th March, 29th April and 13th May.

After seeing how popular the walk&trot class always is, we have decided to include a second walk&trot class at all our Unaffiliated Dressage shows from January 2012.
