A huge thank you to our team of volunteers who made the most of last weekend’s sunshine to clear the common track and adjoining bridleways.
Whole trees were cleared, along with holly that seemed to have taken on a life of its own, plus overgrown branches from the beech trees. The result is a clear, accessible track that is much safer for all of us to enjoy.
Huge thanks go to all our helpers, ranging from age 3 right up to... well, we’d rather not say! Next time, we’ll make sure the refreshments are top-notch, so please let us know if you’d like to join us for a future clearance session.
Maintaining our tracks wouldn't be possible without our volunteers. Thank you all for your hard work and exceptional sawing abilities!
Peter, Lindsey, Caroline, Becki, Judy, Jacqui, Doug, Harry, Arthur, and Helen — thank you!

A huge thank you to Nick Higgins for his recent hard work clearing Track 5 as well as the Monkton Belt track. Thanks to his efforts, these routes are now much more accessible and feel a lot less like an all you can eat buffet for our horses along the way making them far better to ride and ready for our members to enjoy!

Our Monkton Belt track at Bryants Bottom was getting very overgrown, so we arranged for it to be cleared and it is now much more accessible and enjoyable to ride.
If you aren't yet a member and would like to ride on this track - plus others around the Hampden area - join today for just £10.
