Field Farm is the home of Jo
and Fergus Shields situated in the heart of Quorn Hunting country
amongst the beautiful wolds villages of South Nottinghamshire and
North Leicestershire. Field Farm is primarily an organic beef farm
having just gained organic status and has 50 head of pedigree Beef
Shorthorn Cattle.
Since moving to Field Farm in 2003 Jo and Fergus
have created a cross country schooling course which
is available for hire and a small competition livery
yard.
Jo originally trained
at the well known Waterstock House Training Centre
in 1991 under the tutelage of Lars Sederholm and
Yogi Breisner.
Jo
currently events a number of horses and has also
competed at Advanced Medium level dressage. She is a
registered BHSII SE SM and hopes to complete the
final phase of her BHSI in the near future amidst
having some exciting new young prospects to compete
for the 2012 season.
Jo offers tuition in all 3 disciplines and can also
offer training towards BHS exams. In addition, she
runs regular cross country and grid clinics. Jo also
takes horses in for holiday and/or schooling livery.
Accommodation and stabling can be provided for those
wishing to come to Field Farm for intensive training
towards either exams or competitions. For details of
