We are not in a position to be able to run the 3* XC as a number of jumps need to be rebuilt to fit the new safety specifications – so we will be running this class again in 2019 – thank you for your understanding.
We really hope that riders will show their support for this class in the future, as without riders there is no event!
If you or anyone you know might be interested in sponsoring – please email us to discuss your needs.
Pairs information
Information regarding the competition.
The first competition will be a pairs cross country. The course will be quite short, with the fences having various height options so that all pairs can be catered for. There will be three “dressing fences” which the two horses must jump as a pair (ie side by side). Points will be given for these fences and penalties deducted for refusals and falls. There will also be an optimum time. The height of the dressing jump is 60cm maximum.
Fancy dress is encouraged for the pairs, however please note that this competition is to be run under the relevant EA rules. In particular, it is the responsibility of each competitor to ensure that they wear the correct safety helmet and body protector.

Final Results
With a huge sigh of relief – click here for the final results.
We are fully aware of the huge issues that the new scoring program caused. Our scorer was put in a situation of having a new program to wrestle with. Along with the added requirements that the FEI have made with the final goal to have our results being able to be integrated with the Equiratings system, it meant that scoring our event was a nightmare for all involved.
The prizegiving was delayed due to all the problems that we encountered. We know riders all want to get home after a big weekend, but some things really are out of our control.
We do however hope that you all had a good time in all other respects and will return again for our next competition – which is our Eventer Trial. The date of this is yet to be confirmed.
