On Tuesday 16th April 2024, Andrew was awarded The Pony Club Centre Scheme 25th Anniversary plaque, by HRH Princess Ann. Andrew is delighted to have been able to accept this award and hopes for many more years working with the Pony Club.

Andrew established Grove House Stables in 1991 with one horse, one pony and a very muddy field! Since then we have developed with our purpose built equestrian training facilities.

When Andrew saw the ground breaking new pony club centre initiative, after being a member of Grove Hunt Pony he was excited to be able to give his riding school pupils the experience of being a Pony Club member.

Grove House pony club centre has given riders the opportunity to progress and develop their relationship with horses and riding. The pony currently meets on 2 evenings a week still using the format that Andrew developed and shared with his fellow riding school proprietors 25 years ago. we wish the pony club much success for the future.
