GENERAL INFORMATION

FURTHER INFORMATION & FAQ

  • Please note you must have as stable or covered yard as horses are not allowed to tie to trucks or floats. You will either have paid for stables, or the horses can stay on the truck/float.

  • Our team are working tirelessly to keep the grounds and in particular the sand arena tidy and well groomed. This is challenging when manure is left. It holds up classes as our tractor drivers are having to jump in and out to collect manure. Please tidy up after your horse.

    Please muck out your stables at the end of the show otherwise cleaning fees may apply.

  • Yes, there will be a livestream (more details coming soon).

    Please be aware of imitation profiles on Facebook advertising fake live streams and scams. For complete assurance, access information here right on our website, or become familiar with ourofficial Facebook business page here.
