Hi everyone, happy 2026 and year of the Horse! 🐎
We have had our first committee meeting and would love to try and run this year so we need your support!
We have very kindly been offered the option of a grass field to run from (both the show jumping and trec) - or we can continue to run at the arena at Lindurst.
We would like your opinions and have put together a very quick survey to see what the majority of our riders/potential riders would prefer. It literally takes 1 minute and you can stay anonymous if you prefer.

Option 1 - A large mostly flat grass field in Blidworth, Cross Lane area. The field is on sand land so well draining, however we will be more at risk from extreme sun/rain. The field has space to run trec and show jumping from, plus space for a warm up area. There is also space for a limited amount of parking, approx 4 per show, on a strictly first come first served basis.
Option 2 - Continue to run jumping at Lindhurst using their 20x40 arena with a nice soft surface. The arena is smaller, with no proper warm up or parking, however the surface is nice and bouncy for horses legs (and falls...) Run Trec at Alison's field again.
Option 3 - Any other suggestions are welcome, however they must be hackable for most riders in Blidworth as our ethos has always been to look after our local riders who may not have transport to other shows.
