Ashen EC is Unique by Design

Built and run for the discerning, forward thinking horse-owner who really wants to make lasting changes to their riding & truly values the relationship with their horse(s)

No gadgets...  No force...  No coercion...  No punishment... 

We consistently work towards our clients' individual goals.

Ashen E.C provides a "total immersion learning experience", ensuring improvements to horses and riders are both long-lasting and achievable again, both at home and (if desired) in competition.

Becky and Mac -  

"Having worked, trained and taught freelance at many yards I had a clear idea of the sort of welcoming, non-discipline specific yard I wanted Ashen E.C to be. I knew I never wanted my clients to experince the feelings of being an outsider which I so often witnessed and experienced. I am absolutely confident that clients visiting Ashen E.C will feel and be supported in their learning.  What you book is what we deliver.  What you expect and want is what you will achieve or exceed."  Becky Chapman, owner of Ashen E.C.

Whether

  • hairy native

you and your horse will be welcomed, and your beliefs and values respected.

It is important that vistors to Ashen E.C understand in advance that primarily the focus of your training will be on achieving and understanding optimum performance and long-term soundness of both horse and rider.

Our unique "stables" are double-size.  The back area is down to rubber matting and dust-free bedding, the front an individual covered "patio". This design means all horses, whether used to stables or being managed more naturally, settle well and enjoy their stay too. 

We are proud that Ashen E.C's design has inspired many clients and visitors to attempt similar projects for the benefit of their horses.
