The home of the happy horse and rider

Urgent Announcement – Coronovirus (Covid 19)

Following the latest Government Directive, Friday 20th March,  in response to the contining public health crises around Coronovirus (Covid19)

The BHS advises all BHS Approved Centers and Riding Schools to stop offering riding lessons and cancel clinics with immediate effect. The Government advice is that the risk to public health is deemed too significant for group activities at riding schools and clinics to continue, despite the very best efforts to adhere to social distancing practices that the equine community has undertaken.

A note from us:

All prepaid lessons will be put on hold and as soon as we can reopen we really look forward to seeing you again.  This is a tough time for everyone and all of us at Widmer hope you all stay unhealthy and untouched by this awful virus. Take care and see you soon.

    Lovely venue, well organised . Would just say pop a sign up on the opposite side of the road as the bushes are booming so we drive straight past but had a fantastic day out and even my 5yo was the calmest he’s been at a show, there was just the relaxed feeling
