This year’s hot, dry summer has raised important questions:
When is it too hot to compete?
How can we train when the ground is so hard?
Should we be trying to keep our horses fit at all?
The answers, of course, depend on individual circumstances.
However, cross-country schooling does not have to mean galloping over hard ground. You can achieve plenty without putting unnecessary strain on your horse’s legs.
If you are considering a schooling session, keep these points in mind…

🐴 Rising eventing star @archie_humfrey_eventing is a regular face at Lodge Farm XC, and we loved watching him guide his exciting 5yo, ‘Spike’, around the horse’s very first event at the Friends of Freddie Horse Trials here on Sunday 🐴
Archie says: “Lodge Farm is an outstanding XC schooling venue for both youngsters and more experienced horses. The fantastic grass cover, excellent ground conditions and meticulous fence maintenance mean I can school my horses with complete confidence throughout the year – even in this hot, dry weather. You’d be hard pushed to find a course with better going in this weather.”
🚜 Thanks to constant mowing and thick covering of grass, our ground retains that all-important cushioning even when other places are bare and parched.
