Burley Lodge Equestrian Centre

26/07/2025

*Important Update*

We've just been made aware that Burley Lodge has been put up for sale by the current owners, Cemex. We know this news might cause some uncertainty, but we want to reassure our valued customers, staff, and liveries that business will continue as usual. Our contract is secure until 2029, and we're actually in discussions about renewing our lease if possible. We will remain here, so you can rest assured that nothing is changing. Although we knew this day would come eventually, we were surprised to see the property advertised so quickly. We're in early discussions with our current landlord to ensure everything runs smoothly, and we're looking forward to next 4 years and beyond. We're all committed to providing the same level of service you've come to expect from us, and we're grateful for your continued support.

Many thanks from Bridget, Toby, Jenny, Emily, and the Burley Team

Hi everyone… we are looking forward to welcoming you all on Saturday, just a couple of things.

• We can only accept Lorrie’s 7.5 tonnes and under (as stated in our schedule) as the lane into Burley is very narrow.

• Please be careful on the lane, as it is single file, with passing places. Please drive slowly & carefully.

• Please share lifts if possible, as parking is limited.

• We are pleased to announce we have a burger Van & an ice cream stand.

• Wayne Jones Photography will be with us all day taking lovely pictures as always. These will be available on his website after the show.

• Please follow all instructions given by staff and signs around.

• A reminder that we are not excepting any more jumping entries for our 65cm & 75cm classes. If space allows we will except entries for the 45cm class & that we made the decision to cancel our 85cm classes.

Looking forward to welcoming you all at the weekend 🐴

01/07/2025

We are really excited about our summer show on Saturday. The weather is looking okay, fingers crossed 🤞!!

The ground is unfortunately harder than we would like, so we have decided to be extra cautious and not run the 85cm jumping class. We are confident the conditions will allow us to run the lower classes safely. The 65cm & 75cm classes are now full and we will not be taking any extra show jumping entries on the day.

There are some spaces remaining in the showing classes but we advise you contact us first as entries have been great this year, so only a handful of space left.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!!
