Hadham Mill Equestrian Centre has been the site of a riding school for more than fifty years. It has been under the ownership of Claire Dudley since Sept.2001. There was a major celebration of the 50th anniversary in July 2004.

Claire Dudley has an Equine Studies degree from Coventry University and has also worked for Australian Olympic show jumpers and eventers, Vicki and Wayne Roycroft. Her passion has always been her teaching. She has more than fourteen years teaching experience. Her time at Hadham Mill has been the fulfilment of a dream.

Claire has been extremely lucky to have a team of dedicated, cheerful and friendly staff and weekend helpers, led by Sarah. The help and support of liveries, friends, relations and the local community has been essential to make her business a success. This support has produced the yard’s friendly atmosphere - everyone is made to feel welcome.
Claire is assisted by three dogs - a Jack Russell, called Luke, a White German Shepherd by the Klingon name of K’Ehleeyr (pronounced Kayla) and her daughter by the next door neighbour, Laya.

The horse and ponies vary in size and ability, as with all animals, and are very individual in nature. They range from Benson who is a 13.2HH and a great favourite with children, being a softy to handle and built like an armchair due to his attention to maintaining his waist line to others at 16HH. The many other animals that range between all look forward to making your acquaintance.

Hadham Mill Equestrian Centre is large enough to offer a wide range of services and horses, but small enough to offer a personal, friendly service.
