Limes Farm Equestrian Centre is now under new ownership and management after Darrell Connock and his family took over the business in Pay Street, Hawkinge.

Darrell is a successful show jumper with recent success at Hickstead and the Kent County Show at Detling.

He has managed yards in Germany and has a wealth of equine knowledge. His partner Charlotte is also an experienced event rider and along with Darrell’s family they are looking to turn Limes Farm into a thriving competition centre and riding school.

Darrell has held the reins for just a few weeks but already he has lots planned for the centre including a new surface in the indoor school and much improved facilities including a licensed bar.

He is also hoping to run demonstrations and increase the quality of livery facilities, and frequency of show jumping and dressage competitions held at the centre.

The telephone line for Limes Farm is currently unavailable but will be connected shortly.
