We had a great evening of showjumping yesterday at our final evening Summer Showjumping.
Some fantastic rounds were ridden, and it was brilliant to see some brand new combinations out competing together for the first time. 👏
We would like to say a huge thank you to the people who helped put fences up on the night, as we were very low on Committee. It really is appreciated, as it takes a huge amount of time and effort to put competitions on, and we simply couldn’t have managed without the extra help. 🙌

Our next event is an Arena Eventing Clinic with Lesley Ingham, which takes place on Saturday 16th August.

One hour slots are available from 9am-5pm, with 4 riders per slot.
When entering, try and get a group of you together who all want to jump a similar height - please state on your entry what height level you wish to jump, as well as an alternative time, or if you are flexible on time, so we have options to amend the slots if necessary.

You can make your entry via the link below ⬇️
