🐴 Celebrating 20 Years of Our Equestrian Centre at Suffolk Rural! 🎉

We’re marking two decades of our equestrian community with a special Open Afternoon, and we’d love to see you there.

We're welcoming equine staff, past and present students, and past and present horse owners back to campus for an afternoon of reminiscing, reconnecting, and celebrating everything that’s made the department what it is today.

📆 Sunday 7th June
🕛 From 2 pm – 4 pm

Expect a relaxed, feel‑good atmosphere, complete with tea, cake, and plenty of memories.

If the equine department has been part of your journey, this is your invitation to come back and be part of the celebration. 💚🐎

🚨 Updated Biosecurity Measures 🚨

Following the increased number of equine influenza cases, we have updated our biosecurity measures.

For all arena hire, we kindly request the following:

🛂 For private hire, passports evidencing vaccinations to be shared in advance, or on the day prior to the horse being unloaded.

📋 For clubs and event organisers, please check passports for all attending horses.

💉 All horses to have had an equine influenza vaccination within the last 12 months.

🫧 All equipment, clothing and footwear to be clean, with foot mats and hand sanitiser to be used on arrival.

🐴 All horses to be loaded and unloaded promptly, with no grazing anywhere on site and no tying up in the car park to minimise time on site.

🌡️ Please monitor your horses for any signs of equine influenza and do not attend the site if they are showing any symptoms.

⛔️ Any horses that don’t meet these requirements will not be permitted on site.

Thank you in advance for your understanding 😊

Suffolk Show 2026 🎪🏇

Our equine learners were exceptional last week at the Suffolk Show at Trinity Park.

Supporting the course-building team, led by Kelvin Bywater, they helped to prepare the showjumping courses and assisted within the arena during showjumping classes.

Throughout the 3 days onsite, they consistently demonstrated employability (ePASS) skills:
💬 Teamwork and communication, working as committed team players to ensure everything ran smoothly and effectively.
🙂 Stand out from the crowd with a positive and motivated approach to every day and task.

Their hard work and efforts earned high praise from Kelvin and his team, we couldn’t be prouder of them 👏
