Ever wondered how we prepare our courses for competitions?
Several weeks before the competition, we plan a route that makes the best use of appropriately sized fences, while creating smooth lines.
Vary the route and combinations from event to event to make sure there are always fresh challenges.
Identify where portable fences are needed and move them into position, levelling them carefully and securing them.
Prepare the take-offs and landings at every fence, adding stone and sand where necessary and paying particular attention to portables on new ground.
Flag, number and rope the courses.
Dress fences where appropriate.
Come and enjoy our next event:
π Mini clear round showjumping and cross-country day
π
3rd October
π Heights 40cm-70cm. Pairs welcome.
π Rosettes for all clear rounds
π Friendly atmosphere

Itβs hard to believe that this time last month the going underfoot was brown and scorched. The grass has picked up so quickly and the ground now has some serious spring in it!
Come and make the most of it!

πΈTwo water features, ditches, steps, banks
πΈFrom 50-110cm

βΌοΈBookings and payment βΌοΈ
Just a reminder that when booking the cross-country course, payment is required for each horse.
Unfortunately, weβve had a few instances recently where a booking has been made and one horse paid for, but two or more horses have arrived to use the course, or no booking has been made at all.
This is our business, and a considerable amount of time, work and money goes into keeping the course safe, maintained and in tip-top condition for everyone to enjoy. While we really donβt like having to say it, using the facilities without paying in full is essentially no different from taking a service without paying for it.
While the vast majority of our fantastic clients respect this, sadly it is becoming a more regular problem with the minority, so weβll be carrying out more frequent spot checks on the course from now on.
Please make sure that every horse in your group is booked and paid for before using the course.
Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support us, book correctly and help us keep the course running. Weβd much rather be spending our time on improvements and building new jumps than checking who has booked in and paid – and who has not! ππ
