Would like to start taking Bailey out; ideas for quiet nearby venues?

[fine_and_dandy]

I would like to take Bailey to a walk and trot test soon and start getting him out and about so he adjusts to show atmospheres.

I think he should be ok; however, I don't want to take him to a large venue which blows his mind. I'd like the experience to be as positive as possible for him and build it up from there.

Has anyone got any recommendations for fairly quiet venues within a reasonable distance of High Wycombe which are worth a shout, and similarly, anywhere you'd avoid going?

Also going to look to take him with some others from the yard when they hire a school etc so he gets used to going out and not necessarily ending up at a show [if that makes sense!]

Thanks

You just missed the Wheatley show, on Thames showground. There is a show in August in Abingdon but apparently no dressage: http://www.abingdonhorseshow.co.uk/
There seems to be a few things coming on the riding diary as well.

There's Widmer, although the yard is very big they have unaff dressage and CR once a month which is fairly low key. Also Pyatts, Windmill Farm, Snowball farm maybe? There is the Naphil RC show in september, and also one at Haddenham if that is a reasonable distance for you?
