A NEWLY-opened equestrian centre near Westbury is celebrating being approved by the British Horse Society.

Heywood Equestrian Centre, which is run by husband and wife Kevin and Claire Worcester, is now a BHS-Approved Livery and Facility Centre. The couple treat injured horses and train others for dressage and show events.

A BHS spokesman said: "Recommendation is not given lightly, and Heywood Equestrian Centre can be proud they have satisfied the BHS inspectors."
