Clifton Riding

Clifton Equestrian Centre has had a very busy term with numerous events and exceedingly good results from our riders.  The upgrade of the pony stalls look very smart, and leans itself to a much more welcoming atmosphere.  

We held our first show of the year this term which was a huge and happy success, showing off our riders’ ability and horsemanship. All participants demonstrated personal progress and took part with enthusiasm, goodwill and respect towards their fellow competitors. Our school ponies also did Clifton Equestrian Centre proud!
