6 equestrian property hot-spots

Horse & Hound — Sun, 21 Sep 2014 08:55:53 +0000

H&H tracks down where the equestrian world’s biggest names are based — and discovers why you’ll want to head there, too

1. Gloucestershire

Celeb-spotting: Carl Hester, Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Tomlinson fly the flag for dressage, Nick Gauntlett and Zara Phillips for eventing and Nigel Twiston-Davies and Jonjo O’Neill for racing.

In vogue: South Gloucestershire is especially sought after, says Rupert Sturgis of Knight Frank, but the Hartpury area is also fast becoming a serious contender, according to Liz Langford of Fox Grant.

Property prices: Near Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, a good home with five stables and five-10 acres costs £2-3 million, according to Rupert Sweeting of Knight Frank. The Hartpury area is somewhat cheaper.

Competitions and shows: Eventing reigns supreme, with Badminton, Gatcombe and Hartpury International Horse Trials, while polo is at the Cirencester Park and Beaufort Polo Clubs and racing is at Cheltenham.

Where to train: “AM Dressage, the home of Matt Frost and Adam Kemp, attracts riders from all over the UK and Europe,” says Liz. Training is also available at Hartpury College, Talland School of Equitation and Summerhouse, among others.

Where to hack: Gloucestershire offers plenty of good outriding, especially in some estates, such as Cirencester Park, says Rupert Sturgis of Knight Frank.

Hunting matters: 10 packs hunt in the county, including the Vale of the White Horse (VWH), the Berkeley, the Heythrop and the Duke of Beaufort’s.

2. Hampshire

Celeb-spotting: Showjumper Peter Charles and dressage supremo Jennie Loriston-Clarke both live locally.

In vogue: The New Forest is always a favourite for its scenic hacking, as is the Meon Valley, with the countryside near Alton being particularly popular for the Hampshire Hunt (HH).

Property prices: You can expect to pay upwards of £2.5 million for an equestrian property with a large American barn,well-fenced paddocks, and quality outbuildings, according to Philip Blanchard of Jackson-Stops & Staff.

Competitions and shows: Somerley Park International Horse Trials is the top eventing competition, with other events held at Mattingley and Tweseldown Racecourse. In addition, you will find racing at Tweseldown and point-to-pointing at Hackwood Park — plus polo at the New Forest Polo Club. Crofton Manor stages showjumping, dressage and showing competitions.

Where to train: Crofton Manor holds regular showjumping and dressage clinics, GB Equestrian offers dressage clinics and Rogate Equestrian Centre, on the Hampshire to West Sussex border, provides tuition in most disciplines. Tweseldown also offers cross-country schooling.

Where to hack: “Great hacking comes in abundance in Hampshire,” says Philip, with the Meon Valley Trail, Queen Elizabeth Country Park and the vast expanse of the New Forest offering miles of car-free riding.

Hunting matters: Eight packs hunt in Hampshire, including the New Forest Hounds and the HH.

3. Dorset

Celeb-spotting: William Fox-Pitt is the local star.

In vogue: The most sought-after villages among riders include Cattistock, Cerne Abbas and Buckland Newton, plus the area around Beaminster. In the north of the county, Motcombe is popular with recreational riders.

Property prices: A medium-size family house with seven acres and basic outbuildings costs from £780,000, according to Fred Cook of Jackson-Stops & Staff. A large main house, with a small cottage, some stables and up to 10 acres of land commands more than £1 million.

Competitions and shows: There’s a lively local circuit with showjumping and dressage competitions at Kingston Maurward College, the Dorset Showground and Parley Court Equestrian Centre. You’ll find horse trials at Bovington Equestrian and Bricky Farm, and three large shows — Gillingham and Shaftesbury, Melplash, as well as the Dorset County Show.

Where to train: Moreton Stables and South Coast Equestrian both hold regular dressage and showjumping clinics, Bovington Equestrian provides private tuition for experienced and competition riders while Kingston Maurward College offers diplomas in horse care and management.

Where to hack: Miles of bridleways and quiet country lanes criss-cross the county. Among the longer rides are the Wessex Ridgeway, the North Dorset Trailway and the Castleman Trailway.

Hunting matters: Dorset counts eight packs, with the vale country hunts being particularly popular. Rupert Sweeting of Knight Frank picks the Cattistock as one of the top three hunts among all the counties featured in these pages.

4. Sussex

Celeb-spotting: Showjumping’s Shane and Chloe Breen are based at Hickstead. Racehorse trainer Gary Moore is at Lower Beeding and Nick Gifford is at Findon — where Tina Cook also lives.

In vogue: The South Downs and Ashdown Forest are particularly sought after among recreational riders, the area around Hickstead draws showjumping riders, while polo players want to be near Cowdray Park, according to Chris Spofforth of Savills.

Property prices: Chris quotes £1.5-2 million for a good five-bedroom farmhouse, with five-10 acres and decent equestrian facilities, depending on location.

Competitions and shows: From the Derby Meeting to the Royal International Horse Show, Hickstead is at the heart of the equestrian calendar. Other county highlights include the Gold Cup at Cowdray Park Polo Club, Glorious Goodwood at Goodwood racecourse and the South of England Show at Ardingly.

Where to train: Coombelands Equestrian in Pulburough has excellent facilities, according to Katherine Watters of The Buying Solution. Other equestrian centres, such as Chelwood, in Nutley, also offer high-level tuition and clinics.

Where to hack: The South Downs Way and the Downs Link offer a lifetime of scenic riding. Should these not suffice, the Worth Way takes in the beauty of the High Weald, while several coastal areas, including the Witterings and Thanet, offer beach riding. Best of all, says Katherine: “Many local pubs now have tie-ups and head collars ready for impromptu visitors.”

Hunting matters: Six packs hunt across the area, including the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray Hunt, the Crawley and Horsham and the East Sussex and Romney Marsh.

5. Devon

Celeb-spotting: This is eventing heartland, with both Mary King and Lucy Wiegersma based in the county.

In vogue: Exmoor and Dartmoor are firm favourites with equestrian buyers, followed by the South Hams.

Property prices: In Honiton, on the county’s eastern fringes, prices for a good home with five stables and five-10 acres are around £1.25-1.5 million, according to Rupert Sweeting. The further west you go, the more value you get for your money.

Competitions and shows: The Golden Horseshoe Ride takes place in Exmoor, straddling the border between Devon and Somerset. The local county show is also “very big”, according to Rupert Sweeting. Other events include horse trials and showjumping at Bicton Arena, plus racing at Exeter and Newton Abbot racecourses.

Where to train: Bicton College runs regular dressage and showjumping clinics, as well as offering an equine studies course, while Southcott Farm in Winkleigh was previously voted by Horse & Hound readers as one of their favourite venues for cross-country schooling.

Where to hack: Exmoor and Dartmoor alone provide seemingly endless opportunities for off-road hacking, but the county also has many trails (such as the Dittisham and the Tarka) and free-riding areas (Cookworthy Moor, Haldon Forest Park and Woodbury Common).

Hunting matters: Hunting is superlative with 18 packs, including the Exmoor Foxhounds and the Dulverton Farmers — and of course there’s the Devon & Somerset Staghounds.

6. Yorkshire

Celeb-spotting: Yorkshire is the cradle of the Whitaker dynasty, with John and William both based near Huddersfield and Ellen and Joe near Barnsley. Team GBR endurance rider Catriona Moon also lives in the area, as do a number of racehorse trainers, including Richard Fahey and Mark Johnston, who are based in Middleham.

In vogue: The pretty countryside between Wetherby, Harrogate and Ilkley is always sought after, although some riders prefer the wilder expanses — and cheaper acres — further north. Another popular area is Malton, just by the Howardian Hills.

Property prices: Yorkshire is huge and prices vary enormously depending on location. Being higher in the York to Wetherby corridor, they go down in West Yorkshire. Near Malton you can expect to spend about £1-1.25 million for a house with about five stables and five-10 acres.

Competitions and shows: Bramham is one of the biggest events in the local calendar, but the Great Yorkshire Show, with its showing and showjumping rings, is equally popular — as is racing at York.

Where to train: The Yorkshire Riding Centre and the Richmond Equestrian Centre both hold clinics, as well as offering private hire of their facilities.

Where to hack: With two National Parks (North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales) and a portion of a third (Peak District), the area is criss-crossed by trails — including the 205-mile-long Pennine Bridleway route linking Derbyshire to Cumbria.

Hunting matters: Hunting in Yorkshire is good, thanks to its 21 varied packs. Knight Frank’s Rupert Sweeting names the Badsworth & Bramham Moor and the Middleton as his favourites.

Welfare charities team up to rescue horses from floods

Martha Terry — Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:00:41 +0000

Horse charities are reporting “record numbers” of attempts to rescue horses from flooded fields this winter.

While 18 horses were rescued by the RSPCA in Christchurch, Dorset (6 February), welfare charities HorseWorld and World Horse Welfare combined forces to save another 4 at a separate location in the same area on the same day.

HorseWorld’s Jerry Watkins and World Horse Welfare’s Phil Jones attended the rescue, which was the 4th attempt to round up the horses (Image credit: creditUnknown)

The quartet of feral horses had swum on to neighbouring land to avoid rising floodwater — but unfortunately had no permission to graze there.

HorseWorld had already visited this site 3 times in an attempt to rescue the horses, but were unable to catch them. The charity had left hay and — along with the owner and World Horse Welfare — had monitored the situation.

On the 4th attempt, the 2 charities managed to round up the horses and secure them on dry land in a holding pen. After examination, they were transported to a World Horse Welfare rescue and rehoming centre, where they will remain safe and dry until it is safe for them to return home.

HorseWorld’s director of national welfare Jerry Watkins said that this has been “one of our busiest winters assisting rescues”.

“We are working very closely with other equine charities to help a record number of horses during this period of extremely bad weather,” he said.

Secret video surveillance of hunts may not stand up in court

Charlotte White — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:33:23 +0000

Video evidence by the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) may no longer be admissible in court, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has ruled.

New guidelines drawn up by the CPS say antis may video hunts “for their own purposes”, but if a police force is aware a group is “conducting covert surveillance” and intends to use it in court, Home Office authorisation should be sought.

This clarification will put an end to the cosy relationship between police forces and anti-hunt groups, said Countryside Alliance spokesman, Tim Bonner.

“The police can’t claim not to know what LACS and IFAW are doing. Even the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) guidance on the Hunting Act [the Hunting Act Investigators’ Manual] says they rely on evidence from non-government organisations,” he added.

Earlier this month a judge in the case against a Dorset hunt terrier man asked for guidance as to whether secret filming by antis was subject to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) — which gives police and local authorities permission to undertake surveillance (news, 7 January).

The CPS clarification adds that if the police force does not encourage or initiate the surveillance, authorisation is not necessary. But that evidence may not stand up in court.

Mr Bonner said: “Under the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime (PAW) groups like LACS and IFAW sign up to support the police and combat wildlife crime. LACS even has a dedicated email address on the Home Office secure network to report suspected crimes.

“The police and these groups now know they are in dangerous territory under human rights legislation if they use unauthorised covert film evidence in court and could be sued,” Mr Bonner added.

The guidance follows the collapse of the case against South Dorset hunt terrier man Christopher Leadbeater at Bournemouth Magistrates Court on Thursday (21 January).

Mr Leadbeater had been accused of interfering with a badger sett and the prosecution relied on covert filming of him digging taken by LACS.

Mr Leadbeater had been exempt fox hunting within the Hunting Act, said his solicitor Jamie Foster, of Clarke Willmott LLP.

District judge Philip Gillibrand — ruled the evidence of the expert witness in the case, Andrew Parr, must be disregarded as he had a long association with LACS and was a former hunt saboteur.

Mr Gillibrand asked for clarification of RIPA, as he felt anti-hunt groups were breaking human rights law.

But Douglas Batchelor, chief executive of LACS, says his group will not change its tactics.

He said: “If anyone breaches the conditions of the Hunting Act evidence supplied by monitors can and will be used by the police and the CPS to support the prosecution process.”

Restoration of Osmington white horse after Challenge Anneka botch

Horse & Hound — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:07:51 +0000

Dorset council are set to restore the Osmington white horse after a botched repair by Anneka Rice and a group of scouts 20 years ago degraded the famous site.

The 323ft high horse, cut out of the Dorset limestone for George III in 1808, who was a regular visitor to near-by Weymouth, has faded at various times in its history as the limestone doesn’t stay white for long.

Sarah Hardige, South Dorset Ridgeway Heritage Project Officer, said: “The TV show Challenge Anneka covered the horse in small limestone scalpings which in time have darkened and washed down the slope changing the shape of the horse.”

Rodney Legg, a Dorset historian and author, described the repair as: “A bit of a do-it-yourself garden landscaping.”

The Challenge Anneka programme, hugely popular in the eighties, enlisted a group of local scouts to aid Anneka in her challenge to whiten the horse.

Ms Rice told the Telegraph: “We didn’t just turn up and start work on it. I can only think we were given the wrong advice at the time. I love the white horse, as I drive past it regularly. I will be the first to volunteer to help restore it.”

Ms Rice’s meteoric rise from being a secretary at the BBC to national celebrity was only matched by her rapid exit from the spotlight when the programme was axed in 1995, culminating in Madame Tussaud’s melting down her effigy.

Steve Wallis, senior archaeologist for Dorset County Council, who is leading the restoration work, said: “We want to restore the white horse in all its glory. To do that they have to remove the stone chips, before undertaking a geological survey to determine the original shape of the horse.”

It’s believed the horse was based on George III’s favourite grey charger. Restoration funding is coming from the lottery and Natural England.

Beach polo returns to Sandbanks in Dorset

Horse & Hound — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:08:36 +0000

The British Beach Polo Championship returns to Sandbanks beach, Dorset this July.

Six teams will do battle over two days of competition on Friday July 10 and Saturday July 11, with the British and USA beach polo teams playing each other on both days.

Covering a smaller area than conventional polo, with one less player per team and a smaller ball, beach polo is fast-paced and exciting, as the ponies can accelerate, stop and turn extremely sharply in the sand.

Johnny Wheeler, director of organisers Sandpolo Ltd, said: “Sandbanks is set to host the sport of beach polo for the next five years.

“The British Beach Polo Championships combines this extremely exciting spectator sport with the spectacular surroundings of the most exclusive beach community in the country.”

From 6pm each day there will be a party in the players’ marquee on the sand. Friday’s party will be hosted by record label HedKandi and Saturday’s by Sam Young and DJ Charles.

Gates open at 11am on both days with the first of four matches starting at 12 midday.

General admission is £35, party tickets £70 and luxury packages are up to £300 per head.

Hunting counties of Britain: Dorset

Horse & Hound — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 10:05:37 +0000

Dorset’s Foxhounds

South Dorset (started in 1806 by the great Squire JJ Farquharson, who hunted the whole county for half a century; this is the bicentenary year)
Cattistock (has older roots but was taken on by the Squire in 1806)
Portman (started as a separate hunt in 1857 when the Squire quit)
Blackmore & Sparkford Vale — B&SV (formed when the two much older hunts joined forces in 1971)

Other packs

Beagles: Park, Pimpernel (Royal Signals), Purbeck & Bovington
Minkhounds: Culmstock and Ytene

What kind of country is it?

Described by Michael Clayton as “one of the great foxhunting countries of the world — its vales, with their deep clay and big fly fences, as demanding to cross on a horse as any I have encountered”, Dorset has challenge, variety and beauty.

The famous vales in the north and west of the county contrast sharply with a great expanse of chalk downland, forestry for April hunting and a coastline of spectacular interest and beauty.

Anthony Mayo, who farms dairy cattle at Hermitage, has just joined the mastership of the B&SV. He has been field master in the southern section of the country for the past four seasons. He says: “You need a cross-bred horse with a bit of bone and a big heart to take on some of those places. It also needs a turn of speed if you’re to keep ahead of the field.”

Where would you go for a red-letter day?

Rory Innes, who hunts the South Dorset hounds, plumps for “the Glanvilles Wootton vale, especially the famous Brickyard hedges which are intertwined with metal railings that can catch out the unwary visitor. By contrast, the Purbeck Hills offer an amazing end to the season, especially around Poole harbour and along the shoreline.”

Michael Tory, former master and field master of the Portman, who has twice ridden in the Grand National, says: “In our hill country, come to Hemsworth [his own farm], where we are miles away from anywhere, or Ranston, where we have a lot of fun. Down in our vale, on a Wednesday, Wooland, Droop or Okeford Fitzpaine must be favourites.”

Lucy Pinney, who has just given up joint-mastership of the Cattistock and has hunted in that country since a child, says: “It would probably have to be Melbury or Ryme, as the whole area is extremely well fenced with hedges and timber, and James Townshend does a brilliant job as field master, keeping everyone entertained.

“But my favourite place is Abbotsbury, simply because it’s so stunningly beautiful at all times. You can see and watch the hounds working almost all day and it’s a paradise to cross, with the most amazing amount of work put into the fence building and easy gates.

“We’re so incredibly lucky in our country in that every part holds an appeal of some kind.”
