Mendip Plains Equestrian Centre is run by the Green family, who have been farming on the Waldegrave Estate in Chewton Mendip and Ston Easton for over 80 years. We owe the Waldegraves a huge vote of thanks for allowing us the opportunity to diversify into the equestrian sector. Our aim is to provide a friendly face and a facility for all ages and abilities. Whether horse-riding is just a hobby to you, or you are out to produce the next Badminton winner, we hope we can help in some kind of way.
Our 5* facilities include...
- Cross country course with fences from 80cm to 100cm
- 90m x 50m all weather outdoor arena, sand and fibre surface
- One set of wooden training show jumps
- One set of wooden competition show jumps
- Dressage boards and markers
- 100m x 100m hard standing lorry and trailer park
We look forward to opening our doors in August and meeting all our local riders.
Our facilities can be booked online through the website and will be available between 8am - 8pm each day. |
The MPEC Team

Left to Right: Duncan, Jane & Hannah

Meet Duncan Green: Owner
Duncan runs the farm which consists of dairy, beef and arable. He is involved with the maintenance of the Equestrian Centre and we'd be lost without his knowledge of the land and machinery skills!

Meet Jane Green:(Granny GG / Chief Cook & Bottle Washer): Owner
Jane does the farm accounts and is always busy cooking for the work force, she's always on hand to make sure the cafe is fully stocked and the staff and volunteers are fed and watered on the bun run! More recently (May 2025) she has been promoted to chief Granny & is a huge help to Hannah & Milo whilst Hannah keeps the cogs of Mendip Plains turning!

Meet Hannah (Green) Smith: Owner & Manager
Hannah completed her Equine Management Diploma @ Bicton College in 2009. From then onwards she worked on the family farm, until planning permission for Mendip Plains Equestrian Centre was approved. MPEC first opened its gates in August 2014. In her spare time Hannah enjoys Eventing, so has good appreciation from the competitors side of things as well as the organiser! Hannah became mum to Milo in May 2025 & is very much enjoying motherhood, but life is now more hectic than ever!

He provides great cuddles and entertainment when he's on Manny duties to Milo! Ben enjoys competing a range of dressage horses in his spare time.
