Hi,

Does anyone know what local shows are on around the Nottingham area over the next 2-3 months? I fancy trying a bit of unaffiliated jumping - up to around 3ft, and maybe some working hunter?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!
 
Depends on which side of Nottingham you are :).

On the west side (Derby side), there's:

Hargate; and
Barleyfields.

On the other side there's Arena UK and another one, name has just escaped me!

There are a lot of riding clubs, all of which have Open Shows (you don't have to be a member). Round the west side there are: Ilkeston; Long Eaton; Ockbrook; Springwood.
 
I went to spectate at one when down visiting my sis last summer. It was at Southwell (sp) and was advertised as a 'ploughing match' but had lots of showing classes, sj and wh. We had a great day out - only downside was mega traffic congestion around the showground.
 
Thanks All, I'm in North Notts but will travel - my problem is I am an adult riding a pony which is a no-go for some shows (Hargate for example were not the most helpful even when I asked if I could enter non-competitively :( )

I also cannot go to Trent Valley due to a fall out with the owner (if you read my previous threads about Bella you may be able to put 2 and 2 together!!!)
 
Don't worry - I've been to Sutton Bonington, Lambley, Ockbrook & Long Eaton all on my 13.1h and I'm 22 so definatly an adult!!

Haven't been to Soar Valley, but don't think its a prob there.

Have only done inhand at Arena UK RC but have BSJA-ed her there with no probs.
