The new banners from Equestrian Surfaces have been erected on the drive and in the all-weather arena for the 2018 season. Equestrian Surfaces are recognised leaders in the manufacture, supply and installation of fully synthetic all-weather riding surfaces and installed the fibre gallop as well as the arena surface here at Pontispool.

The Pontispool Office will be closed from 2.30 pm on Friday 22nd December and will open again on Tuesday 2nd January. The arena cross country and all-weather gallop will remain open for schooling during the Christmas period and can be booked online in the usual way.

This clinic with Alex Bragg is now full but we are holding a wait list if there is anyone else interested should a place become available. Please e-mail your contact details to info@pontispool.com.

SAMUEL JACKSON, on his way to the winners enclosure after winning a competitive novice hurdle at Taunton. Bred and trained at Pontispool, powered by Connolly's Red Mills feed, trained on Equestrian Surfaces fibre gallop and Richard's first runner as a permit holder. What a day! Huge thank you for everyone's support and to all the staff, farriers, physio, vets and jockeys, without whom this would not have happened.
