The Hand

Now has an electonic collecting ring board, which means that no one can push in front of you, if you put your number down to go 20th it gets entered in the computer and you go 20th. Then when you enter the ring your name/horses name appears on a big scoreboard which also has the current leaders and their times. How good is that.

They've also got new jumps

They are certainly turning it into a super venue but really hope its not at the expense of smaller things such as the unaff dressage/Sj/clinics and other things for local riders.

No it's not. There are having a HOYS (Hand of the Year Show)at the end of the year for the unaffliated people, you qualify to compete. Even told them that they should ask Santa for a jacket so that they all look smart!
