Hi

Only been there once and it was the really wet spell, and the ground was fantastic, I was very surprised, the fences are well kept and the whole place is pretty

Yeah its lovely! Not bad at all.. Not a BE standard course by any means but perfectly good enough.

Thanks

It's a really nice little venue if you want a play - they've added a load of new fences too

I've been with my brother and SiL as they live nearby. Huge amounts of fences with up to 4 different heights for each type of fence. Lots of the take offs and landings were all weather as I recall, so hopefully the going shouldn't be a problem.

One thing though - dogs aren't allowed at all, so leave your pooch at home if you have one.

Ground has always been good when I have been and I love it - but I am a nervous nelly - whilst the jumps are beautifully built and kept and there are varying heights, I wouldn't say there is anything "challenging" or high enough for any serious jumpers out there.

Its a great place for young horses and/or the more nervous rider though like me, as you can jump the same jump at varying heights - so start off small and once confident work your way up.

It's my local XC course - i've been XC schooling there for years and love it! It's fantastic for the babies and it's the course I take all my youngsters too.
It's also good for horses that want a bit more of a challenge but the max fence height there is about 3ft-3'3.
The ground is always VERY good
Highly recommend it.
