SCHOOLING
Tuesday 13th May
15.00 - 19.00 in 15-minute slots
Kennels Back Drive,
Thorpe Satchville Road, LE14 2TH
We invite you by kind permission of Quorn Hunt Pony Club to our Kennels to school round a flagged XC course of 60cm & 70cm, in pairs or individually. The format will be similar to that of a clear round course but you will have the opportunity to re-present to fences where necessary, please just pull to one side if the next horse is on the course to let them complete uninterrupted. Photographer in attendance. This event was extremely successful last year with everyone going home achieving more than they'd hoped. Young horses got to experience a competition environment, without the pressure. The atmosphere was friendly & encouraging with other riders on hand for a lead if needed over a beautifully dressed course.
£15 per horse ~ one round
£25 per horse ~ two rounds
