The Knights of Middle England Easter Open House 2026

KOME are opening our doors to the public once again for an exciting and inspiring day of live demonstrations, educational talks and action-packed equestrian performances! Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at our core equestrian disciplines and experience the adrenaline of Trick Riding and Jousting, the beauty of Side Saddle and Liberty, the precision of Horse Archery, and the fascinating training techniques behind it all.

Whether you're a rider, an equine enthusiast, or simply curious about what we do, there truly is something for everyone!

Have-A-Go Activities (from 12pm)

The day begins with interactive experiences where you can try elements of our disciplines for yourself:

· Trick Riding vaulting barrel

· Wooden horse set up for Side Saddle

· Wooden horse for Horse Archery

Learn about different saddles and equipment, try out some basic moves under instructor guidance, and capture that perfect selfie. These activities will run throughout the day.

Demonstrations & Displays (from 1pm)

We will kick off the afternoon with a demo from our KOME Equitation membership group, followed by an exciting and informative range of displays from the professional KOME team.

We’ll take you from the rich history and foundations of each discipline through to modern professional performance, giving you a real insight “behind the curtain” into how our horses are trained and what learning with KOME looks like. Expect daring trick riders performing impressive stunt moves, the beauty and precision of Side Saddle, the focus and skill of Horse Archery and Jousting, and an introduction to Roman Riding, Liberty, and Bridleless riding.

You’ll also have opportunities throughout the day to meet the KOME horses, speak to our instructors and professional riders, and ask all your burning questions.
