Team Chasing - an introduction (pictures)

[zoeshiloh]

Well, a few members of the riding club have decided that they would like to get a team together, so a friend posted on the team chase website for someone to give us a brief rundown of what it was all about. James Buckle (Essex and Suffolk course owner) got in touch, and kindly gave us a tour of the course. All I can say is wow - it was incredible! James was a fantastic host, and we are hoping to send two teams to their event on the 7th November (come and watch if you can, the fences are amazing!) If anyone wants to be on a team, get in touch as we are trying to enter as many teams as possible to support James and this fantastic sport.

Some pictures from the walk;

Novice Fence;

Intermediate Fences;

Open Fences (wow);

River crossing (some members forgot their wellies - what a super host)

I think we are entering a Novice, and perhaps an intermediate team (certainly not an open team this year!). I could not believe the size of some of the fences - they made me think of puissance walls!!
