Another busy weekend of eventing in prospect. Venues running events are:
- Aston le Walls – Washbrook Farm, NN116RT
- Isleham – Whitehall Farm, CB7 5RG
- Warwick Hall – Warwick Hall CA4 8PG
A particular request from the Organisers at Isleham that there is to be no smoking at all on the venue, they are surrounded by wheat fields. Please comply with this request after what has occurred nationally in recent days. Please spread the word!
Times and results can be found for all three of the above events on the British Eventing and Eventing Scores respective websites.
One final note, next week sees the start of the Youth European Championships for dressage and eventing that are taking place at Hartpury College. If you are at a loose end, do go and support the British teams in both disciplines.
Wishing everyone competing the very best of luck.
Today sees the start of Dauntsey Park, held at Brook Farm, Great Somerford. Post code for those that need it: SN15 5JA
Beanie and her team have made a stirling effort to gets today’s event day rescheduled to Thursday, due to the recent atypical weather! I am sure you would like to thank them all for their hard work in allowing the event to go ahead. Those members with horses going please do make a note that came from the Organisers today to say they have received multiple withdrawals since times where issued across the board on Thursday so please be prepared to run ahead of your allocated time.
They have been busy watering the show jumping and cross country and the aggravator will be used on the dressage and other areas that require it.
Best of luck and enjoy the marginally cooler climate!
