We regularly receive requests to hire a full course of jumps and therefore, as from February 2013, we have changed our Programme to include Arena opening on Monday’s to allow a course of jumps from the weekend competition to be left available for hire. We do however, still need some time off and have therefore, decided that this will be on a Tuesday from 9.00 am until 3.00 pm, whereby  the arena will then be available for hire along with clear round jumping. Where we have clear round jumping from 5.30pm onwards, the arena will be available for hire with a course of jumps from 3.00 pm until 5.00pm only. Details will be available on our calendar web site for each relevant day. We have provided a copy of our new February & March Programmes under our ‘Schedule Download’ tab, but provide a copy below for assistance: HFEC February 2013

In order to hire our arena you have the following options: 1) You can book the arena immediately by phoning us direct and making a card payment. There would be an additional small charge of £1.00 (if under £50) for the card processing, but once paid this will guarantee your booking date and time. 2) You can also send your booking request by Post, stating what day and rough time you require the arena hire with an enclosed cheque made out to HFEC, and your contact details. We would then contact you to confirm your booking or agree any revised booking. We can no longer take a booking over the phone with NO payment, as we have experienced a number of people who have made a booking with no payment, and then cancel at the last minute, therefore not allowing others to get the date and time they require.

Father Christmas has limited space in his sack, so he has asked if we could ask Parents who are bringing their children to this show to help him by bringing  a small present for their child.  If the present could be wrapped and clearly marked with the child’s name and handed into the office, then Gary & Jill and their helpers will store them until Father Christmas arrives. He is looking forward to seeing you all and hopefully there will also be some children and ponies in fancy dress (safe secure dress only) so he can view them all. Remember this show starts at approximatey 10.30 am and we provide a copy of the schedule below: Children Christmas Gymkhana Day held 16.12. 2012
