The inaugural ‘Introduction to Eventing’ day at Deen City Farm celebrates Sport England funding being secured by the British Equestrian Federation’s Olympic Legacy project, Hoof, and the London Horse Network..
This city farm offers pony rides from £1, and provides numerous opportunities for people, who would otherwise never have the chance, to get close to horses.
Linking to the Olympics, this funding has assisted Deen City Farm Riding School in the purchase of portable cross-country style fences so as to give new riders a better chance of understanding the challenges of the Olympic discipline of eventing.
London 2012 cross-country course designer, Sue Benson, will be in attendance to spur the riders on and congratulate them on their performances as dressage, show jumping and cross-country disciplines are attempted - as well as to offer an insight into the challenges she has faced in designing the cross-country test for the Olympics.
Sue will be joined by David Gadsby, London representative of the British Equestrian Federation who will be available for interview on the day, as will volunteer chair of the London Horse Network, a Hoof- supported initiative which helped facilitate Deen City Farm accessing funding.
London-born Jo Henbrey, BHS II SM, the inspirational yard manager and instructor at Deen City Farm will also be on hand to discuss the ambitions and achievements of Deen City Farm Riding School.

No stranger to success, on their first outing beyond the farm gates, the Deen City Farm dressage team consisting of three ‘homebred’ riders took the bronze medal at the Team London Riding School Dressage Championships last year.
And, despite having just a small stableyard, Deen City Farm’s Tarron, a horse rehomed to the farm by the Blue Cross charity, was a favourite among competitors there.
The Easter Monday event will have a bespoke format to allow for the restricted facilities and equines available but will nonetheless offer an experience worth kicking on for.
We look forward to welcoming you and your photographers.
