Brackenhurst Equestrian Centre forms part of Nottingham Trent University's Brackenhurst campus near Southwell and operates as a BHS approved centre alongside the university's vocational equine programmes. Stabling for 65 horses, an international-size indoor arena (the Mary King arena, 55 x 40m, Prowax sand, 279-seat gallery), an outdoor arena and a horse walker support a calendar that mixes affiliated and unaffiliated dressage and showjumping with student lessons. External hire is available for owners, instructors and competition organisers.

What to wear
Standard guidance for equestrian yards in the UK. Check with your yard if you're unsure.
A correctly fitted hat to current safety standards (PAS 015 or VG1). Bicycle helmets are not permitted. Hats are available to hire, usually reserved for first-time riders.
Boots with a small heel, riding boots, walking boots or wellies all work. Trainers and flat-soled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons.
Close-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes. Shoulders and legs must be covered, no vest tops or shorts. Jackets and coats should be fastened securely. Waterproofs are recommended for outdoor lessons.
Long hair should be tied back in a ponytail before putting on your helmet. All jewellery must be removed before riding.
Clients arriving in unsuitable clothing or footwear may not be permitted to ride, for their own safety. If in doubt, contact the yard before your visit.
