Park End Equestrian
About this yard
Park End Equestrian sits in the North Tyne valley between Simonburn and Wark, run by Charlotte Ridley (BHSII, Horse Trials specialist) who has competed at Badminton and Burghley and was short-listed for World, European and Olympic selection on her home-bred horse Mistatiger. Top-class facilities for serious riders include a 58m x 22m indoor arena with 180-seat viewing gallery, an outdoor arena in the old walled garden, and a cross-country schooling field with 150+ jumps from 50cm to 110cm. Surfaces are wax-and-fibre mix throughout. The centre runs 20+ training camps a year, including 2-day residential camps for riding clubs, plus regular clinics and facility hire. This is the call for ambitious riders wanting elite-level coaching during a Northumberland trip.
