Monarch Equestrian are proud to have been chosen to build the stables that will form part of the Olympic Legacy at Greenwich.  The Monarch Barn at Shooters Hill Road  houses 20 stables and will be used for local people after the games.

Despite the poor weather conditions Monarch were able to get the Barn up on schedule, with the remainder of the site being completed after the Games.



The Monarch Barn nearing completion.

The Monarch Barn and the rest of the Equestrian Centre has been jointly funded by Hadlow College who will be running the centre in conjunction with their Equestrian Department, together with  Greenwich Council and the ODA and LOCOG.

We are looking forward to seeing the whole project completed and in use for the local people of Greenwich, hopefully many will have been inspired by the excellent job our Eventing Team did gaining a silver medal.
