Our Schooling Rates & Facility Hire
|
|
Mendip Plains Equestrian Centre is run by the Green family, who have been farming on the Waldegrave Estate in Chewton Mendip and Ston Easton for over 80 years. We owe the Waldegraves a huge vote of thanks for allowing us the opportunity to diversify into the equestrian sector. Our aim is to provide a friendly face and a facility for all ages and abilities. Whether horse-riding is just a hobby to you, or you are out to produce the next Badminton winner, we hope we can help in some kind of way.
Our facilities are available for private hire every day from 8am - 8pm (weather depending).
All facilities can be booked online 24x7 through our secure booking system.
