If this is your first show competing please note that we allow assistance or leading in the classes indicated on the schedule page. Please remember horses can behave differently in the ring to normal lessons or schooling at home and if you would like assistance please ask. Competitors enter classes at their own risk. These shows are designed to be encouraging. Please choose appropriate classes for your experience and we would politely ask that you move up classes if you have won a number of times at a particular level. Please use designated warm up area only. Do not stand on the track where others are riding and cause an obstruction. Please ride responsibly and observe menage etiquette.

Additional info for riding school clients: Jumping classes can vary in length of time and therefore it is difficult to estimate exact times when riders will be able do their rounds, please allow enough time on site as these shows are informal and encouraging to allow riders to have a go. We aim to allow a 15 minute warm up on your horse in the indoor ring before you will be expected to jump outside. You will be expected to walk the course when it is ready on foot to learn the route and to decide how to approach your fences. If you are unsure how to do this please ask a staff member to help you. Always carry a short whip with you if you are jumping. Gloves must be worn, please wear jodphurs with a sweatshirt or xmas jumper if you do not have a show jacket. We do not expect our clients to buy special show gear to compete in for this show.
