Bridle Trails
Beaulieu has approximately 28 kilometers of Bridle Trails for use by members and their family. Access to the bridle trails is controlled by a series of internal gates, controlled by an app on your phone.
Equestrian Guidelines
The Equestrian Guidelines are established to ensure the safety and well-being of both horses and riders within the estate.
Trail Monitoring and Curfew
- For security purposes, access to the trails is restricted to registered users who have accepted the terms of use. Please contact our admin office for more information.
- The trails are open for use during the following hours:
- Winter months (May to August) 6:00 to 18:00
- Summer months (September to April) 6:00 to 19:00
Trail Use Regulations
- Motorised vehicles are prohibited on the trails, which are used by cyclists, riders, and pedestrians. Security is authorised to remove residents and their guests who do not adhere to this regulation.
- Dogs accompanying trail users must be on a leash at all times.
- Cyclists must warn riders when approaching from behind and pull to one side when horses are nearby. Groups of more than three cyclists must stop when they see horses.
- Walkers should move to one side and give way to horses.
Maintenance and Safety
- Report any holes, malfunctioning gates, or other dangers to the admin for prompt repairs.
- Riders should reinstate jumps if knocked down.
- Never canter around blind corners or past other horses.
Community Considerations
- Dog Awareness: Residents are encouraged to socialise dogs with horses. If your property borders the trails and your dog reacts to passing horses, please take appropriate steps to prevent behaviour that could spook horses and pose a risk to both horse and rider.
- Rider Responsibility: Riders should be aware that properties bordering the trails may have dogs or other animals that could startle horses. All riders use the trails at their own discretion.
- Avoid paddocking stallions near the boundary of another property containing horses.
- Ensure that floodlights on arenas do not shine into neighbouring properties.
- Be mindful of noise and dust when harrowing arenas.
- Ensure compost heaps do not cause discomfort to neighbours.
- Implement adequate fly control measures.
