Bristol & Somerset Academy

The Bristol & Somerset Academy hold fortnightly grouped evening training sessions for both ponies & horses with UKCC accredited coaches Jayne Smart & Gemma Hallett, from September to July, we have an array of venues to chose from such as Badgworth Arena, Leyland Court, KSEC, Chard, Mendip Plains & Millfield School.

Training dates can be found on our Bristol & Somerset Academy Facebook Group (Link), as well as on the British Showjumping website under TRAINING. All bookings are made via Horse Monkey (Search Bristol Somerset Training). We are also trialling a WhatsApp Community Group - Bristol & Somerset Academy - Training Sessions (Link)

We also hold unmounted sessions & have had a couple of very informative evenings with Farrier Paul Horner FWCF and Vet Duncan Ballard MRCVS 

Any ideas on other evenings are welcome.

The Academy is a great place to make friends that last way beyond Academy itself and in some cases even beyond horses for both children and parents!

We are a friendly group of people all working towards the same goal.
