If you get the chance then go! It is beautiful!!
60 x 40m, geltrack, indoors - stunning!!
Just hope it will be put to good use!!

Tim Stockdale is doing a lecture/demo in March and there is a rumour that William Fox-Pitt will be doing one too!

Its nice but ridiculously expensive to hire now.
£30 for half the areana. Used to be £18 for the whole areana so you now pay almost twice the amount for less space.
We have used their old areana once a week for the last 2 winters. Wont be using the new one.

I agree it is vey expensive!
Luckily my RC use it fir training through the winter, and as i am based in Moulton/ Pitsford i do tend to go to most of the clinics and some of the comps.

Never seems to be anything decent on there!!

(have had fairly bad experience of their competitions - although I admit I haven't been for the last year or so).

Would be good if they get their act together - nice and local for us!

Their comps are unlikely to improve until they stop letting the students organise them. I know they need to gain experience but i feel they have too much responsibility.
They now have a great venue to hold some affiliated comps but I just cant see it happening. Would be great if they did. I could take my horse home between classes BSJA

They have regular showjump clinics with Mia Korenika and regular dressage clinics with Sabrina Jones.
The dressage training comps are quite good although they usually only have prelim and novice tests, but i'm sure you could ride an elem. (if you wanted!!).

Only down the road! Ash is in Moulton village and Joe is in Pitsford!
I took Joe to a friends yard in Brampton (The Grange), last week so we could ride out in Harlestone Firs!
