Easter Egg Hunt


We are delighted to announce the return of our Easter egg hunt.

Whatever your level, come along and explore the facilities at Rockrose between 10:00 and 14:00.

The hacking and gallops will be open to all. We hope to put a few jumps out as well for the brave hearts. There will also be dressage arenas set up and set of show jumps for anyone who wants to do some familiarisation with young or rusty horses. Foot followers and lead reins are welcome along with well behaved dogs on leads.

The members room will be open to all for those who would rather watch telly by the fire whilst their friends and family get some exercise!!

In the second hour Jade will be talking about what attire is and isn't allowed under the BD rules for you and your horse, also demonstrating on her own talented horses at different levels what she does as a competitor riding a dressage test and what tips and tricks she has to get the best mark in a dressage test. to round the night off we will be having a little question/answer time with both of these talented equestrians.
