Better Bridleways for Essex

Essex needs more bridleways and now is the time to spread the word amongst the riding community

Epping Forest Summer Ride - Due to the predicted hot weather and hard ground conditions we have revised the route to make it a little shorter and to include more shade. 50% of the route is now in the shade and water will be provided for riders and horses at the half way point. We will be taking entries on the day £25 cash only, arrive to start between 9.00am -10.30am only. See our website for more details

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.
