We are looking for a new loan home for Oliver!
We are looking to loan him out as a companion.
He has been with us since 2021 and he has been a superstar but we feel he now needs to retire as whilst he is sound, being ridden will exacerbate pre-existing issues.

He is 12.3hh, 16 years old and comes with a full wardrobe. Full history provided and 6 month check in's from ourselves.

Please let us know if you can offer him a loving home.

Our NSEA team went to Hickstead on Friday to compete in the Hurst College Showjumping Championships; hundreds of young riders from schools across the country gathered for the opportunity to compete and gain qualification to ride on the hallowed turf of the international arena.
In this competition, the teams compete in preliminary rounds in the peripheral arenas in the morning and the top 10 teams qualify to jump in the finals in the afternoon in the international arena.

Junior Team
The junior team comprising of Electra B, Rosie C, Harriet L and Olivia S (photo 1) all rode extremely well in their 85cm rounds but stiff competition meant they did not unfortunately qualify for the finals.

Senior Team
The senior team comprising of Amber B, Chloe B, Izzy L and Jess R (photo 2) did amazingly jumping at 1M and came 3rd in the preliminary rounds, qualifying them for the finals in the International arena where they finished fourth, an absolutely outstanding result against the very best school teams in the country. We were certainly extremely proud of them as they took part in the finalists parade at the end! (photo 3)

NSEA 1.10 M Hickstead Elite Championships
In addition to the Hurst College Championships, Antonia S had also previously qualified to compete in the 1.10 m NSEA Hickstead Elite championships, the first class held in the international arena that day. It was a huge achievement to have qualified and Antonia and her horse Stormwatch did an amazing job round a big track. (photo 4 Antonia entering the international arena)

Both Antonia and our senior team qualified to ride in the international arena on Friday, which is amazing, all the girls were an absolute credit to the school; they and their horses were impeccably turned out, immaculately behaved and rode extremely well!!

Please join us in celebrating their successes.

Good Morning,

The school NSEA equestrian team have been busy competing and have finished half term with a whole host of fantastic results and qualifications in Dressage, Showjumping and the two disciplines which incorporate arena eventing; The Eventers Challenge and Jumping with Style.

On Saturday 15th February, we went to Parwood Equestrian centre to compete in the County and National Dressage Championships.

St Teresa's pink team consisting of Olivia S, Lilly S, Rosie C and Sophia S came third in the open team class ( photo 1).

Lilly S came second individually in the open preliminary class which crowned her Surrey County Champion and qualified her for the Inter-county Championships at Hickstead in May and also the NSEA National Championships at Addington in October. (Photo 2).

Rosie C came 6th individually in the Novice class.

On Sunday 16th February our Eventers Challenge team consisting of Electra B, Lilly S & Rosie C went to Coombelands Equestrian Centre and won their 80 cm class qualifying them for the NSEA Eventers Challenge Championships at Hickstead in May (photo 3)

On Sunday 23rd February we had teams at Felbridge Equestrian Centre competing in Show Jumping and Jumping with Style (JWS)classes.

The 70cm JWS team consisting of Electra B, Florence B and Olivia S came second (photo 4)

The 80 cm JWS team consisting of Lilly S, Rosie C and Olivia S won their class ( photo 5).

In addition, Olivia S also won it individually ( photo 6) and Lilly S came 4th.

Both of these teams ( and Olivia and Lilly individually) have qualified for the NSEA JWS National Championships in October.

The 80 cm Showjumping team consisting of Electra B, Harriet L, Olivia S and Rosie C came 4th and have qualified for the NSEA Plate Championships (photo 7)

The 90 cm Showjumping team consisting of Chloe B, Izzy L, Lilly S and Rosie C also came 4th and have qualified for the NSEA Plate Championships (photo 8)
