WELCOME TO RAECTI The Royal Artillery Equestrian Centre is a 5 star, British Horse Society (BHS) approved Riding Centre situated in Baker Barracks, Thorney Island, Emsworth, Hants.
Founded in 1985 the charity focuses to provide physical rehabilitation for wounded & injured service personnel, veterans and those within the local community. We initiate and further advance confidence, empowerment & self-awareness that help support those who experience anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. The therapeutic benefits of allowing those we help to interact with the horses compliments both physical and mental wellbeing. The RAECTI is very proud of the support it receives from its members & the local equine community who frequently attend and support our fundraising events.
The Royal Artillery Equestrian Centre Thorney Island nicknamed RAECTI is not just for military personal, it's main source of income is from members of the public. Lessons, hacks, pony days and pony parties are just some of the day to day activities that take place at RAECTI. We also operate a livery yard for various types of livery packages.

OUR EQUINESWithout our herd of RAECTI equines we would not be able to opetate out riding school. Our heard of 10 equines are the key to our success. They are loved and cared for by our team.
RhumbaRhumba is one of the longest serving member of the herd. Used for beginners to experienced riders and his favourite party trick is sitting up like a dog! Murphy
Murphy is mr chilled nothing phases him. Enjoys a bit of everything even the odd jump here and there. He is a client favourite as he's super friendly.
TangoTango is our big friendly pet. Now fully recovered from an injury he is a client favourite for all flat work lessons. Don't leave anything too near Tango, he will play with it! EricEric is another client favourite. With his unusual colouring he makes up the 4th RAECTI coloured cob. He enjoys his jumping sessions.
ChorusThe main girl when it comes to the herd. The only mare surrounded by geldings. Chorus is the most popular of the ponies. With her enjoyment for all work.
MaxThe newest addition to RAECTI Max has slotted into the family like he has always been here. Sharing a field with Harry and Roo, he is a cheeky chap who always wants to please.
HarryWith the cute factor on his side Harry is the children's favourite. Being super affectionate he is the first pick when learning to ride. We all wish he was bigger!
RooHarry's best friend. They may as well share a stable as well as the field they are that close! She's the trotting totts queen and resident unicorn for pony parties.
