We would like our members and friends to have their say so please take the time to fill in this short survey.
Tell them how you use green spaces in Essex for horse-riding, and if not why not?

Comments will help finalise the Green Essex Strategy, identify priorities and develop the Green Essex action plan.

Hatfield Forest (Saturday) 22nd June - is now full and sorry we are not taking entries on the day due to limited parking.

Weald park Saturday 6th July - exciting new style ride for young or novice riders. See events page for more details.

2019 FLU VAC REQUIREMENTS - For the rest of our rides this year all horses attending must be up to date with their annual flu injections (ie. the last booster is no more than a year old). On top of this we will implement any extra stipulations that our host may request (ie. passports check, 6 month booster etc.). We will not know what these extra requirements are (if any) until we open each ride for entries.

SAVE THE DATE!! and join in the celebrations for our 40th Anniversary at our AGM on Thursday 14th November from 7.30pm at Keene Hall Galleywood Chelmsford, further details to follow!

Julia Wilson - Chair

Welcome to Essex Bridleways Association. A registered charity set up in 1979 to preserve and develop the Bridleway network in Essex. Run entirely by volunteers, we work tirelessly campaigning and working with the authorities to improve, restore and create a safe riding environment for riders in Essex. Funds raised through our membership and pleasure rides pay to employ a Bridleway Development Officer and Historic Researcher; both help to further our work. We need your support to continue this important work so please join. As Essex becomes ever more developed it is imperative that equestrians are not forgotten and we are making sure this does not happen. The more members we have, the more likely it is that authorities will realise just how passionate we are to continue enjoying our beautiful Essex countryside.
