Testimonials
I am extremely pleased with the horse I bought from Hyde Lodge, with whom I now compete from my base in the United States. Without any hesitation do I recommend Hyde Lodge for sourcing your next event horse. My experience could not have been better.”
– Jack Curtis, US Event Rider
“I bought my top horse Woodlands Be Daring off of Alex. He was exactly as sold and so beautifully and correctly produced I was able to complete a BE Novice just 6 days after picking him up. Alex was brilliant to deal with, even doing the viewing at 9pm at night as that was the only time I could get there. Daring has continued to showcase the same talent we saw when we first viewed him through the years and is a very exciting prospect for the future.” – Sasha Hargreaves
“Delighted with the youngster I purchased from Hyde Lodge. A super stamp with a very trainable attitude. Alex was extremely professional with excellent trial facilities. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hyde Lodge to anyone looking for a well produced event horse.” – Helen Needham

Out & About
Little Downham – Intermediate
Rachael and Friday absolutely smashed their second Intermediate at Little Downham this weekend! From their best dressage test yet, to one of just a handful of clear show jumping rounds, and a bold cross-country performance that earned them 11th place overall – we couldn’t be prouder. This pair is really coming into their own, and it’s so exciting to see the hard work paying off.
Little Downham – Novice
We had a brilliant day at Little Downham Horse Trials with Centre of Attention and some of his syndicate owners. Atty might only be at novice level, but he’s already showing us he’s ready for bigger challenges. From a slightly distracted dressage test to storming around a tough cross country course, he reminded us all why we’re so excited about his future.
Aintree Arena Eventing Championship – 90cm
Jules and her young mare Kola took on their first stay-away show at the BE Harry Hall Ace Eventing Championships at Aintree. It was a wild ride (literally), but full of lessons, laughs, and a big milestone for this new partnership. Click through to read about the highs, the chaos, and what’s next for the pair!
