Radley Green Equestrian Ltd
My name is Cat Moody and Radley Green Equestrian is the cumulation of a dream of mine that I have had for many, many years.
We aim to provide a much-needed top-class equestrian training facility, here in Essex that will cater for all disciplines and abilities.
I wanted to have the ability to provide facilities for camps and clinics, as well as individual hire, on all-weather waxed surfaces, that will be mostly immune to our hot dry summers and wet, cold winters and anything else that the climate throws at us over the years!!
This will allow riders to train and to keep their horses fit and competition-ready, even when the ground is too wet or hard to train on grass.
The centre will be following the ethos of ‘Respect Your Horse’ and will follow British Eventing rules of etiquette whilst riding.

RG TEAM
Cat Moody
DIRECTOR
My qualification for this role is partly that I have ridden all my life from a very early age, but mainly my experience of visiting different competition, camp and training facilities came about from having 4 daughters all who rode.
The best decision I ever made regarding their riding was to enrol them all into the Pony Club. This organisation brings out the best in every equestrian, whatever their ability and it forges friendships that will last them their lifetimes.
I was fortunate enough to become the District Commissioner of our club, the Essex Union Hunt Pony Club, and it was during this time that I learnt what was required to hold events and competitions and camps.
In recent years we have all seen the demise of so many of the equestrian centres in this area, we are now, in Essex in the position of having one of the highest population of horses and equestrians and one of the lowest for number of equestrian facilities. The roads around this area are getting more and more dangerous and I know all of the facilities that RGE is able to offer will be appreciated.
I look forward to welcoming you all
