anyone going to this open day tomorro?

i'm going over for a nosey

 

[ElvisandTilly]

I think I'm going. Sue is from a yard near us so there will probably be a few of us going to watch her.

Looks like a good place they are trying to build on some of the jumps looked pretty good and they are moveable so hopefully the ground should be reasonable...looks like a place to keep a eye on

 

[diggerbez]

well i went! what a load of rubbish

it cost £10 EACH to get in...we missed the coursewalk (note no time advertised for this- think the person taking money on the gate might have warned us

) and then the ridden bit involved Sue cantering her horse round the jumps. this took 5 minutes. then that was it!!! we stayed 20 minutes, very annoyed at wasting my money! oh and thought the course was actually pretty poor....

 

[ElvisandTilly]

Oh no it sounded so good too! I didn't go...... I ended up doing my 3 weeks worth of ironing. Seems like I made the right decision!!

 

[diggerbez]

yes definitely! only thing i was glad of was that i hadn't hired the place and dragged my horsey up there....i've actually emailed to complain i was that annoyed!

 

[charliesarmy]

OMG they did a write up in the Halifax Courier which is where I'd presumed it looked good...(must have chosen the best jumps to picture)

looks like money well spent

 

[diggerbez]

there was a couple of good jumps but as a whole the course was crap- you could jump the whole thing in 5 minutes

 

[yeeharider]

glad you posted this was gonna go but had to work good to know its not up to much though wont waste my time/money hiring it thanks
