cross country schooling cambs/norfolk

[1Lucie]

Supposed to be having a yard outing on Sunday and decided on cross country schooling, checked Ely Eventing centre and its closed gutted!

Can anyone recommend a local cross country course as an alternative? Must have a good selection of low jumps for first timers!

elvedon or alconbury?

Just been looking at Elvdon, never heard of the alconbury one?

Blackwater farm? keysoe? elvedon? carlton?

Alconbury hasnt got much, fine for babys but no ditch, uninviting water and most fences are put away between competitions.

Ickworth Park, just outside of Bury St Edmunds?
You do need a pass, but I believe you can get them easily.

If you want a flowing course would go to elveden (go soon as its closing soon ) as has bit of everything up to 3'3''/3'6'' ish in hight some large drop fences and some combinations, although i went a week and a half ago and their water jump was a little boggy but still usable.

Good for young and experienced horses i think

Black water (Gt Witchingham) - have all sizes. If you want something small Forest Edge near Swaffham or Horseshoe Farm in Dereham

Ickworth Park has a competition on Sunday so no good.

Unless you're after really small, Horseshoe and Forest Edge aren't great for that. The water is very uninviting and the ditches aren't great for first timers...

Blackwater Farm is good if the trek is not too much- fences from about 70cm (and sweet at that height) to BE Intermediate Really like it there, and it's not very expensive!
