♣West Lodge Rural Centre♣
I first discovered West Lodge Rural Centre when my daughter?s school were talking about visiting the ?Farm Park? in Desborough about 5 years ago. I had seen signs for it, but never thought to check it out.
After the school visit, Amy talked avidly about her experiences, and had obviously had a wonderful time, but it wasn?t until 3 years ago that we paid our first visit.
♣How to find it♣

A few hundred yards along this road, turn right. The Rural Centre is along here on the left hand side. The West Lodge Rural Centre is signposted on the brown tourist signs.

Advantages: Covers everything for ages 4-94, lead rein to three day event Disadvantages: I just wish it was closer to home (but it's still worth the travel!)
Trent Valley EquestrianCentre is a fantastic riding school and livery/competition yard - very friendly, very professional, very welcoming. Our daughter would live there if she could even though she doesn't have her own pony! From lead rein to three day event, from age 4 to 94 this is the place to learn to ride, to improve your riding and compete at every level. TVEC view riding as a complete activity including horse care and stable management - badges, tests and assessments at every level - individual badges, Pony Club, ABRS, BHS, NVQ - you name it, they do it. Every month it seems there is a new development - something small like a new stable door or something big like the new 1800 sq m International Level Indoor Arena to complement the four floodlit ourdoor arenas. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself at one of their regular ...
