Grasshoppers is one of BE's training type classes. It runs from Feb and last year the final was at Moreton Morrell in April. It is quite good. I did it on my horse and I think we benefited alot. You go along and thee are 2 or 3 trainers who give you advice and tip then you do your round. BE have not got the new dates up yet but this is the link for last year.

Grasshoppers is FANTASTIC!!!

really enjoyed it last year. Did the intro with Hattie and went to the finals - which was a really special day. Equine Affairs do a brilliant job of running it - they are very friendly and helpful

Will be back again this time to do the PN

I did the intro last year too and it was really good!

Abbie, how cool that you and Hattie are on the website!

hehee it was a bit of a shock when Mum went to look at the new dates and there was Hattie's white face staring back at her on the top of every page!!!!!

Every website should have a lovely WFM on it - well done

You can't beat a WFM!

I did the Pre-novice on my little Harry pony last year, qualified for the finals but didn't make it there sadly.
I did get some nasty comments from some people as he wasn't the typical type you would see there but i enjoyed it anyway!
