100% committed to sustainable practice
We cherish our beautiful natural setting and always strive to work in ways that are good for people as well as the planet. To minimise our impact on the envrionment, we have incorporated a number of eco-friendly solutions, including this solar panel system on top of the indoor arena.
We are proud to be 100% self sufficient for around 8 months of the year. The solar panels also generate enough energy to supply neighbouring properties and send back to the grid!
