12 April Blazin Trails Dressage Cancelled

The Dressage this weekend has been over-subscribed and unfortunately with the predicted weather for this weekend we have taken the decision to cancel the Blazin Trails Dressage on 12th April and re-schedule for Sunday 20th April. The unaffiliated dressage would have needed to run on grass and although we don't like to disappoint our riders we felt the ground conditions would not have been suitable. The British Dressage event will go ahead as planned.

All entries will be transferred to the new date or a later competition for those unable to compete next Sunday. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Entries Online!

Following demand from our riders we will be adding a facility for riders to enter all our events online from November. We know this will save you time and provide more flexibilty for payment! Click on Competitions for future dates and schedules.

Online entries will be live for all events where the shopping basket appears from November.

Please make sure you read the schedules thoroughly - riders are responsible for making sure the payment details are accurate e.g. stabling and first aid will need to be added to your entry like a normal paper entry.

  • Go to our "Events" or "Trainin Clinics" page.
  • Select the event you would like to enter from the list. Click on the event name for a full schedule.
  • Whenever this icon appears next to a class within a schedule you can enter online. If the icon is not displayed either entries have closed or this facility is not available for this event.
  • Making an entry using our Secure Online Entry System couldn't be easier.
  • Payment is secure and it comes directly to Manor Grange Stud.
  • Simpy add your classes to your Shopping Basket. You can enter as may classes as you like for an event/ show.
  • You can only enter 1 event/ show at a time.
  • Once you have entered and paid, both you and Manor Grange Stud will receive an email confirmation of your class entry and payment.
  • Please be patient when waiting for payment to submit and do not be tempted to click twice!! If you do not receive a confirmation email within 5-10 minutes depending upon your internet connection call Manor Grange Stud or Equine Affairs to confirm your entry has been received e.g. a mispelt email address may be to blame.
  • Please make sure you check your details & enter the correct amounts in the payment boxes and fill in all necessary fields.
  • Remember - this is the same as completing a paper entry form and it is the rider’s responsibility to check you have provided everything we have asked for!
  • Closing dates will remain the same whether you enter online or by post.
  • Advance entries will be accepted for all "enter on the day" shows too so you can plan ahead and save precious time on the day.

If you have any questions or problems once live please do not hesitate to contact Equine Affairs on 0871 2303649 who will be happy to help or answer any questions.

New Addition to Manor Grange Stud for 2007

Harry Junior! 15.2hh Black Gelding.
The first riding simulator to have 5 speeds :Walk, Sitting trot, Rising Trot, Working canter & Extended canter.

This riding simulator is the ultimate school master horse. He always maintains a perfect rhythm, tempo and balance. He never bucks or misbehaves. He can change pace with a nudge of the legs and a squeeze of the reins will make him slow and stop. He does exactly what he is instructed to do all day long and never tires or breaks into a sweat!

Everyone can enjoy the pleasure of riding and keeping fit at the same time. Lessons can be structured to meet every riders needs in our private heated and mirrored studio. This riding simulator is ideal for riders wishing to learn or improve their:
  • Walk, Sitting Trot, Rising Trot, Work without stirrups, collected canter, medium canter, cantering without stirrups, forward seat, jumping position, dressage seat and side saddle riding.
  • Riders who are fearful of the real horse, the mature rider, riders who have lost confidence and disabled riders will find Harry Junior of great benefit.

There are many more areas that will benefit from riding this horse Harry Junior and the team are also available for lecture / demonstrations, parties or social events etc. We aim to give new and experienced riders a great life-like lesson.

To find out more send for a SAE to Manor Grange Stud to receive details and price list.
