The Oathall equestrian team is going from strength to strength. Our team are now competing in show jumping events up to 90cm, as well as dressage competitions.

Thank you to all involved for your continued support.

The second Oathall value to explore this year is that of resilience. Defined as ‘the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness’. We will educate the meaning of resilience and the impact being resilient can have on a person’s education and character.
