Hunter Trials – Event Entry Extended !
Due to the bank holiday the deadline for entry to this event has been extended to midday this Thursday (31st August).
The course has been improved this year, the ground should be perfect, and the forecast is bright sunny spells but not too hot.
So get your entry in now !

The Ossie Ward Show is this weekend – the weather looks great for what should be a fantastic event (ok, may be a little optimistic, but as long as it stays mainly dry, we’ll all be fine!).
The Hall family have been working hard, and the arenas are all set up, jumps are in place, and all we need is for people to come and take part, it really is looking fantastic. There is a lot of space for warming up, and lots of parking, so no need to worry about that.
We are taking entries on the day for all showing classes (1 – 5 in schedule), and jumping classes (9 – 12 in schedule), so why not just turn up on the day ? – everyone would love to see you !
Show classes start at 10am, clear round jumping is possible up to about 12.30 (any height, any time), and the jumping classes start at 1pm.
There are caterers on site (their chocolate brownies can be seriously recommended!), a photographer will be roaming taking pictures that will be published on our website, and there are rosettes on offer for your lovely horse (or the chance of a trophy if you are a north wilts saddle club member!).
Come and enjoy the lovely Wiltshire countryside with your fellow horse nuts – you’d be mad not to come !
Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

The Dressage to Music Workshop is this coming weekend !
<Click Here> to enter.
Times will be allocated for the whole event i.e for warm-up and for the dancing to music – 20mins warm-up, then 30 mins sole use of 40×20 arena, to ” dance ” with your horse.
Please bring all music on CDs – any kind you wish, I have used pop music and film score music – that you think may suit your horse’s paces at walk, trot & canter. Someone will be on hand to play/stop and re-start the music as and when necessary in your schooling session, so you get an idea of what works best for your horse.
See video on our fb page of a rider’s first attempt at DTM, great fun and certainly less stressful that pure dressage.
