XC open while the weather permits

Community & Trust

Lyneham Heath is a community built on the trust. We hold certain standards which we hope everyone will abide by, in order to avoid unnecessary policing of the grounds. This mutual trust is what enables us to keep the costs down whilst providing you with the facilities you need. We have sadly had to install CCTV EVERYWHERE

Booking

The only way to book is online. We carry out random lorry park checks so make sure you have booked BEFORE you come.

Double check the right number of horses and the CORRECT day to avoid being turned away.

Speed

A strict 15mph speed limit on the drive and then DEAD SLOW round the corner and in the lorry park as per signs everywhere. Beware CCTV and number plate recognition cameras.

Lorry Park

Clear droppings and all hay in lorry park using scoops provided. Do not empty your lorries into the scoops - take it home!

Overflow parking is now available leading off the main lorry park down the track towards the XC.

Pony Club Groups and Children

We love to welcome children and recognise it's very difficult for stressed Mums & Dads to always be able to keep an eye, but please make sure they know the barns and machinery areas are TOTALLY OUT OF BOUNDS. Danger may be lurking there. Warn them about CCTV and serious consequences. Please also check for litter they drop (unintentionally I'm sure) - we collect untold sweet wrappers. We now have CCTV in the hut and have had to install a vending machine which very young children may struggle to operate. Please oversee them! Bored siblings throwing stones (for fun of course - the bigger the splash the better) into the water jump is a total no no.

Water Jumps

When acquainting your horse with water please don't let him splash & scrape the gravel base of the water jumps - it creates hidden holes that can bring a horse down.

Groups

We recommend you park on the overflow parking area, especially if you are part of a large group, during busy periods (school holidays and Spring). We would also appreciate the organiser to appoint someone to oversee the Group parking area is left clear of hay, droppings and litter - sweet wrappers in particular.

Restricted Numbers

Owing to large numbers of bookings on some days we have to limit numbers. If the facility is closed IT IS CLOSED! If there's only room for ONE MORE HORSE, THEN ONLY BRING ONE HORSE or book another day. This could be due to the weather, ground conditions or sheer numbers

Paper coffee cups

Please do not hide them in a hedge - shame on you who do! For those others, try to remember where you leave them and take them to a rubbish bin in the lorry park rather than beside a jump!

Dogs & Dog Poo

All dogs on leads EVERYWHERE. We have increasingly found plastic dog poop baggies full of dog poo (how long do they take to degrade?) left all over the XC or chucked in the hedge. How should we deal with this? Ban dogs? Collect the unpleasantness in silence or install special poop boxes everywhere? Or more CCTV to deter / catch offenders. Let us know....

Cancellation Policy

Individual hire
A credit is available to Individual hire bookings up until Midday on the day before your booking for the Arena, and up until one hour before your booking for XC.
