Cross-country schooling courses in the UK

According to Saddl's directory, there are 80 UK venues currently listed with cross-country facilities. Most offer their courses for schooling hire to external riders, with fences typically ranging from 50cm Minimus up to British Eventing Novice (1.10m).

Cross-country schooling is how UK eventers, hunter trial riders and confidence-building riders practise away from competition. Most schooling venues open their courses on set days through the spring and summer (typically March to October), charge per horse, and accept walk-up bookings or pre-booked sessions. Course quality varies - the better venues have proper take-off and landing surfaces, a range of heights from Minimus through to BE Novice or Intermediate, water complexes, ditches and combination fences. Always check the height range and surface condition before booking.
