Could you please tell me what the x country course is like? I am thinking of taking my horse there to try build his confidence over some inviting fences.. opinions gratefuly received x x
 
Hi, The contact number is 01362698544 The course is short and not too big with most types of jumps including water,ditch,drop steps etc, the ground can be awful but think they have tried to improve some of the take off and landing. It can be quite muddy but dont think that will be a problem at the moment! lots of the trees are close so hope you have good steering! Its a nice course for novices and youngsters and those that just want a bit of fun. Hope you enjoy, Forest Edge has a new course too but I have only seen it from a distance well worth a visit tho as its probably closer than Dereham. :) Hope this helps :)
 
Horseshoe farm is fantastic for training, although you wouldnt want to take a large horse there because of low trees. The fences are fairly nice and inviting, although the water is very murky so not great for confidence.
Forest edge looks fairly good, never jumped the fences but watched a friend go round and some seemed interesting with plenty of inviting ones.
Blackwater farm is my favorite place for schooling and as they have just had a BE the ground will be good there. There are plenty of drops, ditches banks etc and the water is part of a river so completely clear :)
Burnham market is also brilliant for schooling and Emily gives fantastic lessons that are really good for confidence building so that may be something good for you. :)

Hope this jumbled ramble helped :p
