Combined Training Day at Bendick Murrell Sportsground

On 13 March a Combined Training Day will be held at Bendick Murrell Recreation Grounds and will be perfect if you:

• Have been thinking of competing, but are feeling a little daunted?
• Need a friendly, low-stress environment to get started ?
• Want a chance to practice and improve your technique ?
   

Come along to the "Test out the arenas" day!  It will be a fun, informal atmosphere (no jackets, no plaiting etc) and a chance to improve your technique and confidence.  This is a wonderful opportunity to practice in a "real comp" environment but with no pressure.  Neat, tidy riding wear is required, plus boots and an approved safety helmet which is essential.

Day begins at 9am with a working bee to finalise the arenas.  Riding will be from 11am (or before, if everything is done!) On arrival PLEASE place your horse in the stables/yards and help out and the day will start once arenas are set up and the grounds ready.

For the working bee, please bring Old clothes, lawn mowers, paint brushes, drum of sump oil, whipper snippers, gloves and helpers.

This will be a great day to help raise funds and ride on the newly sanded arenas - all sand and poles were washed away in the December floods.

Full canteen available on the day.
