Show Information
General Enquiries tel: Karen Barker 01406 380949 (evenings)
Entries must be received by Wednesday and will be limited – please enter early! (If full, a waiting list will be kept) There are no entries on the day.

The competition will consist of the MA (control of paces) and the PTV (obstacle) phases undertaken in a large outdoor arena. There will be a maximum of two small jumps in each class which can be omitted without being eliminated for those who prefer not to jump. In the event of adverse weather conditions please phone/email on the Saturday evening (3rd Dec) by 9pm, when a decision will be made.

How do I take part?
The competition is open to all. Complete the entry form and return with your cheque before the closing date or enter online using the quick link on the Wittering Academy RC website. There are no entries on the day. You will be given a start time – turn up in good time so that you have a chance to study the course and check details of how to tackle each obstacle. . You don’t have to be a member of a riding club, BHS or TRECGB to take part, but you must have 3rd party liability insurance and may be asked for evidence of this when you collect your number. (Current BHS/Affiliated Riding Club members are insured through the BHS.)
