About this yard

Kirkfields Equestrian Centre has been operating since 1976 from Lower Blidworth near Mansfield, positioned on the edge of Sherwood Forest. As an ABRS+ approved establishment, the centre offers riding lessons, show jumping, dressage, and cross-country training to a high standard, with hacking directly into Sherwood Forest among its most distinctive draws. Pony Club activities and regular shows provide competitive and social opportunities throughout the year. The centre provides indoor and outdoor schools, show jumping and cross-country courses, lunge lessons, and jumping clinics, alongside livery services. A certificated campsite and Byron Lodge self-contained accommodation make it a viable destination for equestrian holiday breaks and residential riding camps. The combination of quality facilities and the Sherwood Forest setting makes it one of the more memorable equestrian venues in the East Midlands.
