Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Following recent changes to Government and , BHS (British Horse Society) guidelines relating to Cornovirus, Chelmsford Equestrian Centre is now offering a limited number of private riding lessons to existing clients that are able to ride without the aid of a leader. Depending on demand, we will seek to expand the lesson availability on a week by week basis.

If you are a new client, we would still love to hear from you and add you to our contact list for when the situation changes and we are able to provide a more normal service.

Most of our team remains on furlough.

We are not currently able to provide group or lead rein lessons.

Strict health & safety rules exist on the yard to protect our clients and staff.

All booking is now completed online.

We cannot afford to provide a full time reception function to take calls and manage client queries at this time.

The reception office at the centre is closed.

Reception services are being provided remotely for a limited number of hours each day. Please contact us by email in the first instance at the following email address: reception@chelmsfordequestriancentre.co.uk and we will respond as fast as we can.

Most of our four-legged friends at Chelmsford EC remain out in the fields, having a little holiday in the sunshine.

With this little income now coming into the riding school, our monthly outgoings still exceed our income and we are struggling to maintain the business so that it will be able to open up again when all of this crisis has past.

We have been ever so grateful to those donors that have supported us in this time of crisis. However we still need your help and we are continuing to reach out to our riding centre friends, young and old who have enjoyed the centre and everything it has to offer over the years.

You can help by making a one off donation to the riding school by following the link below, or if you would like to make a regular monthly contribution please contact us directly by email at : reception@chelmsfordequestriancentre.co.uk.

If we can raise enough to cover the costs then we’ll come through with our wonderful family of horses thinking it’s been a jolly holiday in the sun.

It’s hard for our herd to suddenly lose everyone from their daily routine so we’re doing everything we can to keep them fit and well.

We hope you can help.

Love from

Chelmsford Equestrian Centre
