Eventing Scores / Riding Club Results!
Our online scoring system via Eventing Scores / Riding Club Results means that provisional scores are available very soon and these are finalised soon after the end of the class. This means that prizewinners will not have long to wait to pick up their rosettes on the day. With this in mind, rosettes will no longer be posted after the event, so please arrange for someone to pick them up on the day.

Competitors and their Supporters
Thank you to all those who have entered and supported us. Comments from competitors include “Ooohh can we go again, that was so much FUN!”, “WOW, WOW, WOW!”, “Things didn’t quite go to plan but carried on and got over the finish line eventually!”. We hold National Hunter Trial Championships qualifiers for all the individual classes at 70, 80, 90 & 100cm and pairs 80cm is a qualifier. In addition to these, we have 70 & 90cm pairs for anyone wanting some fun together.
Pairs is always a highlight of our Hunter Trials with penalties awarded for not jumping the Dressing Fence completely in sync. Easier said than done and takes practice and great communication!
