Im a Keysoe, Patchetts and from time to time Addington Manor & Norton Heath kind'a girl!

I know they have had a refurb, but whats it like now? whos running it & are they any good? how full are the classes? whats the atmosphere like?
 
The other girl on my yard went about a month ago for the first time (always goes to Addington, Bury farm and Keysoe) She said it was really nice but very very slow.
The courses were nice and the people nice. She didn't comment on the arena but she's very pernickety about where she jumps and didn't say anything so must of been ok :smile3:
 
I have been there for a lesson before but not with the people running it so can't comment on them or how the competitions run. But the facilities are very good.
 
The only reason she's not gone back so far is that Bury Farm is 10 minutes, Addington, 30 and Keysoe 50. I think she said it took her an hour and 20 to get to HH.

Is there some sort of Qualifier or finals held there ? I think that's why she went there originally so she could suss it out - not 100% sure as don't really follow SJ so only tend to half listen :wink3:
 
The refurb there is really nice, massive indoor and outdoor arena with the a good surface (they bought the Olympic surface). I find the shows there really well run, I have competed ther for BD and the results are out pretty instantly so I find that great! The shows are pretty popular there too, even the mid week ones. I think it is worth a look.
 
Its ok, surfaces are fine, ive been to dr there but there was no stewards which made it a little difficult.

There isn't yet a café there but there are some food vans in the covered bit between the arenas, same as when it was manor farm, take warm clothing!
