Equestrian: Dressage

A new international-sized indoor arena is to be constructed by 2011. This will include further stables, changing rooms and rest facilities for riders. It is also planned to improve the existing buildings, menage and other outside areas. These improvements will go towards making the centre one of the largest for disabled riding in the UK.

A new small accommodation block to sleep up to eight riders will also be provided by 2010. The M25 is within half a kilometre of the site and the Olympic venue for Equestrian at Greenwich is 18km away on the A2.

The Centre has developed a number of international riders who represent Great Britain.
