Unaffiliated event on the Hambleden Estate

[eventdiva]

A friend has just realised that Mattingley unaffiliated is full . However she has found an unaffiliated event on the Hambleden Estate on May 4th that evidently has some spaces left. Thought I would share as there is an excellent cross country course there. You can enter on line at www.sohspc.co.uk

They are running a level 3 / wonder how they are going to do that given Hambelden only have 1m plus course.
Portables I presume, be interesting to see if they can pull off a decent small course

Always used to take daughter and pony/horse to this event. Generally well organised and a lovely course.

There are a few jumps there that didn't seem to be in use for any of the BE events last weekend and I saw some portables stacked in the woods.

Have checked and the estate are heavily involved in the course building of the 90cm so looks like it will be brilliant!

Fab news to have a decent 90cm being built so close.

I hope the BRC area 6 committee take good note ....

Portables will be brought in, but there are also 2 x water jumps, a quarry & a ditch that will be used

My Pony Club days are long gone. Can someone tell me what level 3 4 and 5 equate to. having been doing BE100 I would like to do my first Novice at an unaffiliated event. Is this a good event to do?

I love Hambleden Horse Trials and I presume all the Bluebells will still be there.

Have entered Mattingley but didn't even know about this event. Will bear it in mind for next year though.

Level 3 is equivalent to BE 90, Level 4 to BE 100 and Level 5 to BE Novice. A really good event for a first one at Novice an excellent track which always has good going. Bluebells will still be out and the estate always work hard to ensure superb going.

As far as I know the estate team are not involved with this event. but I am sure the pony club will do all they can to make the going as good as possible

Where do you normally look for unaffiliated ODE's I found it on the unaffiliated ODE website?

 

[Kikke]

A shame we'll be out of the country because the horse trails were amazing this year even when we drowned on the sunday.

 

[Bibble]

My horse is lame at present. When do entries close? I would really like to enter.

Here's the link to the schedule for anyone unable to find it : http://sohspc.co.uk/view-news-story.php?id=65

It's being run by South Oxfordshire Hunt South Pony Club.

Thanks for that. I have entered as Mattingly is now closed. Let's hope the Bluebells are still out. It's a great venue
