Stabling must be booked online via this event link.

We make very effort to ensure that all competitors enjoy their overnight stays at the centre. Stabling will consist of a mixture of permanent and temporary stables. Permanent stables may be requested but they are NOT guaranteed! Stables may not be booked for the purposes of storage, and they may only be used by horses..Priority stabling will be allocated at the discretion of the venue. Stallions will be allocated stabling in our permanent stabling blocks.

It is essential that competitors observe health and safety etiquette in the stabling areas during the show.  Passports must be available to inspection prior to entering Bury Farm stables. All horses must be vaccinated in accordance with BD rules. Competitors must bring their own tools to the show: they are not provided by the venue. 

Competitors should select their first night's stabling on the online booking form, and add the required number of nights. .£50 for one night, £80 for two nights, £100 for three nights and £120 for four nights or more.  A £15 surcharge has been added to the price of each stable booking which acts as a stable deposit, to be returned to the competitor after the show has concluded. The deposit will be paid back to the competitor's card if the stable manager has inspected and approved the state of the stable once it has been vacated. Further information on the stable deposit is provided below. 

Stables are available from 3pm on the date of booking and must be vacated by 2pm on the day of departure.

Arrival and departure times may be flexed upon request depending upon stable availability.

STRICTLY No arrivals after 7pm. This is to ensure that the team can check all horse passports upon arrival, that horses can settle into the centre without constant disturbance, and to allow the centre staff to prepare the event in a timely manner.

Please call 07568 395548 in the event of emergency.

Day stables may be booked @£25 per day only if overnight stables are not booked to capacity.

Hook Up may also be booked online: £25 per night.

Stables should be left in the condition in which they are found, i.e. clear of droppings, dry and tidy. A stable deposit of £15 will be applied to each stable booking in advance of the show. This is included in the overnight stabling charge and will be automatically applied. Stables will be inspected by stable managers upon each competitor's departure and, on the understanding that stables have been left in an acceptable condition, with bedding banked up to the stable sides, this £15 surcharge will be refunded to the competitor's card with which they paid. The £15 deposit will be retained by stable managers for stables which require further mucking out.

In line with biosecurity protocols any bedding left in stables will be banked up to the sides. Competitors can then choose to use this bedding as the basis for a bed, or leave it banked up. Shavings can be purchased on site for £10 per bale. Shavings must be used in our permanent indoor stables. Competitors are welcome to bring their own shavings.

Hay can be purchased on site during the show.

Unmounted prize givings will take place throughout the show day, usually within an hour of the conclusion of each class. To recognise the generosity of class sponsors, and to comply with BD rules, competitors are requested to make themselves available for prize givings or to find a suitable representative to take their place if they need to absent themselves. Competitors should present themselves in correct competition dress for prize givings.

Prize money will be paid by BACS after the show, and competitors will be contacted by email to confirm their bank details.

The Paddock's cafe will serve hot and cold food, drinks and snacks throughout show hours.
