Cross Country
Cross Country
Eventing whose origins lie in competitions between cavalrymen is the ultimate test of allround equestrian ability. General public interest is generated by the TV coverage given to Badminton and Burghley . As with other discplines many riders have used the club as preparation and training for affiliated events.
Although training concentrates on dressage and SJ X-country clinics take place on an ad Hoc arrangement, usually as a preparation for the horse trials and hunter trials qualifiers. Anybody interested in x-country practises should keep an eye on the website and the newsletters for details.
I will tak a liberty and include information on this page about other activities that take place in open country e.g. fun rides that have a high participation within the club membership.
