South Staffordshire College’s Equestrian Centre at Rodbaston is witnessing an exciting new development as it moves forward with expansion plans to meet increasing demand.

Set in a 180 hectare country estate in rural Staffordshire, the Centre is one of the best educational equestrian centres in the UK and an excellent place for students to gain real-life equine experience.

A comprehensive expansion programme is already underway and the first phase is due for completion in Spring.  These developments are set to place South Staffordshire College at the forefront of equine excellence for both facilities and student experience.

We are a BHS approved centre.

For the serious competitor there is a full competition programme available covering both affiliated and unaffiliated dressage.

The hugely popular Dressage to Music will be catered for with a series of clinics and there is also a Massage for Horses course.

The Equestrian Centre is available for public and club use, with excellent facilities for hire including a 60m x 30m indoor arena, a 60m x 20m covered outdoor arena.

The fully functional Show Centre has timing and PA equipment to deal with affiliated level shows and the indoor café is available at all events to meet hirers’ needs.  The 200-seater viewing gallery is ideal for all types of events, clinics, training and competitions.

The Centre has also expanded its DIY livery provision, providing stabling and individual paddocks for local riders, who also enjoy the use of the schools and arenas, the horse walker, wash box and drying room, hacking on the estate as well as discounts on internal shows as part of their package.

To showcase the upgraded facilities the Equine Centre will have its own dedicated website.  Visitors will be able to view course information, facilities, clinics and shows, results and news.
