Bring your pony to school at this college in North Wales



Horse-mad pupils can now bring their pony to school at this college in North Wales, after its equestrian centre re-opened a few weeks ago.
The right royal £30,000 renovation comes 15 years after Olympic eventing gold medallist, Princess Anne opened the facilities at what is now Myddelton College in Denbigh, and means children can bring their pony to school.
It is the latest addition to the amenities at the fast-growing co-educational school, one of the newest in the UK, which took over the premises of the former Howell?s School in 2016.

The school?s 37 acres of grounds already have extensive sporting facilities including tennis and squash courts, a gym and climbing wall as well as cricket, football and rugby pitches which are also used by local clubs. Parent and former Welsh junior international show-jumper Ruth Hogan, from Trefnant, has four children at the school, including son Thomas in Year 12 who has followed in his mum?s tracks to represent Wales, with a daughter Sophia, 11, due to join them in September.
Ruth, who has also worked at National Hunt racing stables in Ireland, has provided expert advice to the school on the renovation and she said: ?The school were very keen to bring the facilities here back into use and it was also important to us as a family.
?We?re delighted with the results and Myddelton now has some of the finest facilities in North Wales for riding and competing in equestrian events.”
