Norton Heath Equestrian Centre

My memories are of my year training at the equestrian centre when it was run by Victor Carter as a riding school and renowned BHS exam school. I trained for my BHSAI there, under Mr Carter, along with head instructor Pamela Green/Swain and John Mithcell - who's family ran/run the local RDA from their home. I was joined by Claire, Melanie De La Haye, Carol and Gill Smith during my time there. It was hard work but enjoyable. I returned to Norton Heath some 27 years later and was amazed at the transformation it had taken from being a riding school to a busy equestrian centre running shows of all descriptions - the school side had long since gone - shame really as I loved it there at the time.
