danthorpe hill xc course - fence heights

[wench]

just wondering if anyone has been, and what the lowest fence heights are? Have a wimpy horse and anything over 2ft3 xc fences he wont jump

They are quite small. I wouldn't go there again though as I thought that the condition of the jumps was poor and there was a nylon wire stretched across the run in to 1 jump.

Their website is www.danethorpehillxc.com. Think it shows a few fences on it. It is also a link on www.off-the-yard.com. They have links which also has hoods XC course on it.
The one at RAF Cranwell is nice too and is not massive. Ideal for youngsters.

The one at Cranwell is nice, but can it be hired? There are lots of "trappy" fences there... Danethorpe has some litle fences there aswell as a large variety of skinnies, trakehners etc

Not keen on their water though. Where you going from? Great Ponton near Grantham is a lovely course well maintained and lovely owners.

Cranwell don't hire theirs out anymore unfortunately. I agree that Great Ponton is lovely but a bit of a long old trek the whole way round. Newton would be better if you want it all within a smaller area; they have a variety of fences and the ground seems to hold up well whatever the weather.
