A great opportunity to prepare for competitions and gain some experience jumping round a course or a good excuse to get out and have some fun with no pressure. Jumping will start with poles on the ground which is perfect for young or nervous horses and riders. The height will increase throughout the day and rosettes will be given for clear rounds.
