As close to The East of England as possible please. Hickstead is too far and anything North is too far as well unfortunately. Thanks. ETA: BSJA show jumping classes not dressage. Thanks.

As title :) thanks :) Also does anyone have a rough idea on how long it will take for a poached muddy gateway to grow back to full grass if horses aren't allowed to graze anywhere near it from now on. Thanks.
