Fenland/East Anglia venues, xc schooling, gallops etc.

[kerilli]

I have a new horse being vetted tomorrow, so excited i can't think of anything else. I'm planning to event him next year. i live between Kings Lynn and Spalding, and would like suggestions of places to go for Unaff and Aff dressage, ditto SJ, XC schooling, and gallops. I've compiled a list already, but it may have huge gaps in it! Haven't done any competing since moving to the area, for various reasons, and am desperate to get back into it.
Any suggestions hugely appreciated. Thankyou so much.

Hi Kerilli

I can think of 2 obvious ones you might already know about for XC schooling, Great Witchingham near Norwich and Burnham Market near Kings Lynn.

Happy schooling & competing!

 

[kerilli]

got those, but thankyou. whereabouts are you in norfolk?

 

[Bananaman]

For afilliated dressage, and unafilliated, your nearest centres are Manor Farm, Huntingdon, Sheepgate Equestrian, just north of Boston, Sissons Farm at Peakirk and Fenning Farm at Soham (just been sold but there are rumours afoot that they will run comps from October again).

Welcome to the area.

how about little downham?

 

[kerilli]

thankyou... i didn't have Manor Farm on my list, so much appreciated info.
Nice here, innit?

 

[kerilli]

oh yes, that's one i was trying to remember the name of, did the novice years ago. thankyou. good for schooling, i should think. ta.

East side of Norwich.

For unaff and aff SJ there's the ILPH at Snetterton.

ETS think they do dressage there too

 

[Imonone]

They do do dressage, aff and unaff at ILPH. Also new venue opened at Wrenningham, cant remember the name sorry, but maybe a bit far as its close to Norwich.

Little Downham is super for XC, I would recommend it and so is Ely Eventing centre which is near Isleham.

How about Grange Fram at Wittering, how far is that for you?

 

[kerilli]

great, thankyou.

 

[kerilli]

Great, thankyou. gosh, haven't been to Grange Farm for about 7 years, it was fun back then, especially the upsy-downsy bit the other side of the woods! cool, much appreciated suggestions!

You got it around the wrong way Ely Eventing Centre is at Little Downham, soham pony club is at Isleham but they do hold open shows

 

[Bananaman]

Yes, the Poplars at Wreningham has just started aff dressage and next year another venue is Whiterails Livery at Gt Melton, nr Wymondham is starting afilliated dressage too.

Elvedon is good for X-country schooling.

 

[kerilli]

okay, thankyou.
