Yes, we are debating it. I usually go there to jump but am debating the CT this time and might let hubby jump! I think they do the dressage in the other outdoor arena but not too sure. Maybe the indoor one? They do the jumping in the big outdoor one I do know that! Have you been before, I find them really friendly there. In fact I will ring them now to find out as I want to know if you have to pre-enter or not. Give me 10mins and I'll re-post!!

yes ... couple of jumps in the outdoor arena that borders onto the indoor arena... although I would guess its a bit boggy!

I'm planning to go there soon for some dressage (must get my finger out and enter) and then a CT later on. The old mare and I are rather ring rusty though

Last time I went they had dressage warm up in the (rather boggy)outdoor (the 20 x 60ish one nearest the office/yard), dressage indoors, sj warm up in arena next to indoor, sj in big outdoor.
Hope that makes sense!

If you were nice you'd pick up one of mine on the way (and my Butet saddle
) and whizz him round the 1.05m class....

Lol! Would love to, but think my 3.5ton would struggle with a humungo-horse
Would swap for a muddy greedy coloured thing though

Godfrey would love it at our yard: it's like an "all you can eat" restaurant, ad-lib haylage, soaked oats, boiled barley and linseed, alfa oil, Build-Up for lunch, polos when I do late-night check....
HumungaHorse doesn't know he's big though, so he'd try to squeeze in just so he could go to a party!
