We are pleased to advise everyone that we have now started circulating our Programmes and Schedules via Email, instead of relying completely on traditional hard copy advertising. Our first issue was made yesterday (20.01.13) to over a 100 riders and if you are interested in  receiving information updates from us on our future Programmes, schedules, clinics etc. then simply provide your name and email address into our ‘Information Sign Up’ window on our welcome page, and we will do the rest. We hope this becomes popular with riders and families supporting our competitions.

Due to us having to cancel our Anniversary show jumping competition on Sunday 20th January and the forecast of further snow from the 21st January we have decided to cancel our evening clear round jumping. However, the arena will be open for hire for flat-work or with 6 jumps provided. Our hire rates during daylight hours are: Flatwork with two horses – £15 / hour with additional £5 / hour per horse. Show jumping with two horses – £20 / hour with additional £5 / hour per horse.

Regrettably we have had to take the decision to postpone tomorrow’s unaffiliated dressage competition and this Sunday’s show jumping competition. This is due to heavy snowfall received from 7.00 am today (18.01.13) along with the weather forecast for further snowfall during Saturday. We therefore, will offer the following: .1 Our Anniversary show will be transferred to our next programmed unaffiliated dressage competition to be held on Saturday 23rd February. The dressage tests for this competition will remain as intended for this competition other than Class 6 which will merge with class 7 and be one Pic & Mix Class incorporating Elementary 42 and 44 along with Medium 63 and 71. The winner will be the competitor with the highest percentage obtained between the four tests. By providing 6 classes we are then able to award our Anniversary trophies to the winners in each class section, as intended at our original Anniversary

We are often asked by riders whether we could provide lower jump heights at our competitions to help the more Novice riders. We have considered these requests and are pleased to advise everyone that we have from the 17th February incorporated ‘Cross Pole’, 1’9, and 2’0 classes to our popular Hartpury College Unaffiliated Competitions. Though riders will not be able to qualify at these lower levels it will give them the opportunity to compete at these jump height levels. We have also extended this opportunity to our Evening Show Jumping Competitions, by introducing a new height of 2’0 – 2’3 instead of 3’0 – 3’3 class. We hope riders will enjoy competing at these levels and further support our competitions. For assistance we have provided our latest schedules below for these events: Evening show jumping ‘Cricklands Qualifier’ – February-May_2013 NEW STARTER HEIGHTS Unaffiliated showjumping ‘Hartpury Qualifier’ – February_to_April_2013
