Equestrian

Claremont School is registered with the Nationals Schools Equestrian Association  (NSEA) and can be seen competing in all disciplines hosted by the association.  Competition is fierce and in fields of over 100 riders in some events, our committed team of talented riders have qualified for the national championships in show jumping, dressage, eventers challenge and arena eventing.

Grassroot competitions have been set up to help promote competitive riding for younger or more novice riders and the aim is for children to have a positive and fun experience of competition before they tackle bigger challenges. These start with lead rein classes and progress to 70cms. These classes act as a stepping stone for the mainstream competitions which progress to 1.10.m.  Claremont are proud of the results that our riders achieve both in the NSEA competitions and in stand-alone national competitions which have seen them compete at Hickstead, Horse of the Year show, Royal Windsor  and other prestigious professional venues.

We offer a livery service to international students who wish to bring their own horse or pony to Claremont.  We can also help riders find the perfect horse here in East Sussex.
