Welcome to Ship’s Quarters Farm ..
..A special place where the gently rolling fields form an important part of equestrian history. Originally established by a retired naval captain and his wife, Ship’s Quarters became a mecca for the 3-Day Eventing world during the late 1970’s-80’s. Some of the best Event riders have ridden over this rolling terrain, to include the screening trial for the 1976 Olympics!
