Riding Team
Celebrating Achievements 2021
What a year! It was lovely to see new members join us and 'old' members getting better and better each month. This year, our team was 10th overall in the national Dressage Anywhere competition. This is an incredible achievement and we are so proud of everyone from Broad Town School who took part.
On 14th January 2022, we had a special Zoom presentation of our Autumn League results. Terri Hemmings from Hat 2 Hoof Saddlery joined us and very kindly donated vouchers for our prize winners.

Team Success In 2019
Throughout 2019, members of our school’s riding team took part in the Dressage Anywhere Team Challenge. Each month, their dressage scores earned points for the team and we are delighted to report that our team came 10th. This is an amazing achievement as there were 32 teams entered and our team was the only one that consisted solely of children.
Our team members were:
Henry
Joshua
Freya
Isabelle
Emily
Ruby
Kacey
Thank you to all of the adults who helped make this possible. Well done to all of the children. We are very proud of you!
Equine Dentist June 2019
We were very lucky to be able to visit the farm and see the equine dentist, Stuart Philpott, check Boo and Marble's teeth. He brought a skull with him so we could see what the teeth look like, what they do and where they are in the horse's mouth. He showed us how they took away any sharp edges on their teeth. We also got to put our hand inside Marble's mouth and feel her teeth. Boo and Marble were very well behaved!
Thank you Stuart. We all learned so much.

Well done to our March competitors. 3rd and 4th were a tie AND had the same collective mark so we seperarted them by their serpentine mark. Great work team!
