Taunton Deane Bridleways Association Organised Ride – Sunday 12th July 2026 – Dillington

Back by popular demand TDBA’s signature walk / trot only organised ride.
This ride is intended for those who do not wish to have the worry of cantering or others cantering on a fun ride.
TDBA do not advertise this as suitable for nervous riders or horses due to a short section of the ride including a bridge crossing over the A303 (with stewards available to walk over the bridge for anyone who is worried), and another section running close to the A303 at points in adjoining fields.

New Bridleway at Compton Dundon

If any of you have walked or ridden along the new bridleway recently you will have seen how much work was achieved by the Compton Dundon Rights of Way volunteers who cleared some of the grass during September. The newly planted hedge is doing well and few plants were lost despite the extreme summer heat and drought. It has been wonderful to see how much it is being used and to be thanked by the horse riders who seem to be really appreciating it. The bridleway has definitely been a great success.

There is still a short section to finish plus clearing around the line of trees, planting up a small corner and applying some more wood chip mulch. 

We will be meeting on the 13th November at 10.30am (Peak Lane at end of new green lane) to hopefully finish the work which will set it up well for the next year. Bring gloves, spade, trowel or whatever tool you prefer. There will be cake but do bring a drink.
