The Hand closed this weekend

for refurbishments - according to their answer machine - if anyone was thinking of going.

Do you have 'Equestion now' up your way big article in there this month with the new owners. Big plans for the centre new facilities, new outdoor arena, new stables etc, etc all phased in over next 2 years. May also be an o/s derby ring.

 

[MissDeMeena]

yeah, i heard all about that

how exciting!!

BTW, lovely piece about you in The Western Morning News SJ

 

[tigers_eye]

Is Nick Burd not involved anymore? I thought he leased it with someone else a couple of years ago and had big plans for it then?

 

[MissDeMeena]

Nope, he sold it to Nick Davis a couple of months ago!

 

[Sarah_Jane]

The article indicates Nick Davis has only just bought it. David Broome is to be the centre president.

Its cool that Nick has bought it. They will probably focus on showjumping then.. and I assume there might be some good YR classes too?!

Thanks for the link. It doesnt work though coz the i and the a are back to front!

Thats a good schedule for Christmas and New year. Not bad prize money either for the bigger classes.

Since Nick Davis has bought the Hand the prize money has gone down.....

 

[KarenX]

Ooooo! What a miser!

LOL! I was only really looking at the bigger classes at the New Year show and the prize money looked quite good.
