Welcome to Oakwood Park Showground

Welcome Back! We are looking forward to a fun filled 2009 season.

Oakwood Park is promoting the Grass Roots of British Equestrianism, but still remaining with our fun and friendly atmosphere, offering help and support to all our competitors both on the day, via emails and training sessions.

Our charity for this year is the Ashdown Forest RDA, which is a group that we have set up for the children in our area.
Last year we raised over £500 which is fantastic, so thank you for making so many people smile! We are currently collecting new and used riding clothes, mainly jodphurs and boots, so any donatations will be greatly recieved.

Running throughout the season we are going to offer training sessions for both you and you horse or pony. These will be split into sections including Lead Rein, Ridden, workers, Show Jumping and In Hand. We would like to know how many of you would be interested, so please feel free to email your interest and the section you would like to do, to ali@ops.org.uk.

We would like your imput into some of our shows. We want you to let us know what classes you would like to see at Oakwood Park. Simply find the box labelled "Your Ideas", click on this and follow the instructions or contact us via email.

Showground Hire

Oakwood Park Showground is available for hire. This may be to host an Equestrian Event, a Boot Fair, Sports Day, Camping ground, Fun Fair, Motor show, etc. The list of possibilities is endless. If you require any information regarding hire of the ground then you can contact us via email or phone.
Do not worry if the ground is too large for your individual requirements, we are able to offer smaller areas at reasonable rate, it is always possible to hire a corner of the field on a day that we or other users are holding an event.
Our charges are realistic and we welcome the opportunity to negotiate with you.

Events Calander

Oakwood Park shows will continue to be friendly, professional and confidence building during the 2009 season. Riders of all abilities will be catered for and friendly help and advice is always at hand.

Our aim remains to make attending our shows, fun and educational. During 2009 we will also be hosting a number of shows for other groups; these will be listed with our own dates below and are marked with an (*).

We will run clear round jumping at all of our shows, usually in the form of a clear round ring.
