ABOUT THE CENTRE

C.E.C is a small, friendly, family owned and run Equestrian Centre in East Hampshire. We are serious about safety here at C.E.C but we also love our sport and want people to enjoy it. Our lessons are engaging, progressive and fun. We are a Pony Club Linked Centre, fully licenced and insured with experienced, qualified, enthusiastic instructors and purpose built facilities providing a safe environment in which to learn.  Our latest inspection under the new DEFRA regulations by the Local Authority and their Vet has seen us awarded a 5                          rating under the new rating system.

We cater for all abilities from initial tots pony rides from 3 years and complete beginners to the more experienced rider either on private horses owned by the client or on the lovely school horses and ponies that we have here at the Centre. Offering group and private lessons, facility hire is also available of our purpose built international size arena with jumps.

​

We are only a very small centre, which to us, we see as an advantage. Relaxed and friendly. It enables us to focus on the clients requirements and provide that personal touch that perhaps larger centres are unable to do.  Our group lessons are small with a maximum allowance of 6 per group.  However, these are generally up to approximately 3 only, so attention is highly focussed on the riders and their learning goals.  Comprehensive records of clients progress are maintained so that you, the client can track your progress as can the centre staff and if necessary tailor your learning program for any specific goals that you may have. We don’t just offer lessons at C.E.C, we also hold clinics, shows, training courses, etc. of which anyone is welcome to attend.

Our focus doesn’t stop at the clients, its extended to all of our lovely horses and ponies too.  They receive the highest levels of care including daily turnout with a comfy well bedded stable at night with plenty of hay, feed and fresh water. Regular attendance from the farrier, vet and physio to keep them in tip top condition. They are regularly schooled by the staff and get to go out for hacks with them and the odd beach ride, show and sponsored ride.

Our mission here is ‘happy horses, confident riders’ and we strive to maintain that.
