So sad, for all competitors, organisers, spectators, to add insult to injury - the sun is SHINING!!

Horse and rider safety is paramount, a good decision made well in advanced.Gutted for everyone involved, and Gutted for our tradestand who travelled the 5 hours down their to start setting up yesterday to have to give up and drive back today - mortified

I was really looking forward to going - first time for years b*****y english weather.
Such a disappointment for so many people, competitors, spectators not to mention the money the poor tradestands lose out on.

Same here.
Very disappointing, but the right decision really I think.
There's always next year

Soooo relieved that we didn't have a tradestand there this year.

Fingers crossed nothing else goes the same way. Hopefully a really good showing at other events this year will help to make up for it a bit, both for the riders, the spectators and the traders.

Shame - but for the best I think.

Real shame. British weather is such a pain. Will just have to be patient for couple of months and get my fix at Barbury instead! http://www.barburyhorsetrials.co.uk/

I'm really disappointed, how frustrating for all the riders who have worked so hard towards gearing towards this weekend. I really feel for the trade stands that would have been counting on X amount of income from such a profitable event. Safety is the most important thing though and if the course is anything like my garden, then i can understand why it's been necessary to cancel!
