"Tales of Oberon" the squirrel and other information about the wildlife around our property will be posted soon. This new feature will showcase birds, squirrels and other animals you might find in your own backyard.
"Ears" to Nottingham!
We have welcomed two new equines to Nottingham - and they are not horses! Please read more about Charmer and Geneva and see how they fit into our herd!
In Memory...
May was a hard month at Nottingham. We lost our beloved pony Firefly and Zodiac, one of our cherished schoolies.

We are reading
Nottingham Equestrian Center is a unique facility that offers high quality
dressage and jumping instruction on both private and school horses. Rarely
do you find a barn with two nationally certified judges who are also
experienced and highly trained instructors. Both Cheryl
Connell-Marsh and Maryal Barnett have been
actively involved in the Instructor/Trainer program of the USDF, and Maryal
is currently an examiner in the USDF Instructor Certification program.
Cheryl is also an active and popular eventing judge and travels throughout
the country serving as President of the Ground Jury for events. Cheryl also
has many students who are competing at both events and pony club rallies.
Remind yourself that you are on horse time...
At Nottingham, both boarders and students are treated equally, and are given
the same high-quality instruction. All of our school horses are given the
highest care and love - and it shows! Our barn is as much about the care you
give your horse before and after the lesson as it is about the time spent in
the saddle. We strive to teach our students love, respect, and patience for
their horses and to realize that riding takes time and horses (like nature)
cannot be hurried. We encourage all our students to arrive 1/2 hour before
and remain 1/2 hour after their lesson to properly care for their horse.
Nottingham is not just a barn, it is a home and a haven for both people
and animals. When you ride at Nottingham, you become a part of our family
and you will develop friendships that will last over time.
