The Arena one day event is a dynamic competition combining dressage, showjumping, and arena cross-country in one exciting day. Riders begin with a dressage test to showcase precision and harmony before tackling a continuous jumping round that blends technical showjumps with solid cross-country style fences. Designed to test rhythm, control, and boldness, the event offers classes from 60cm to 1m with dressage tests to mirror the jump heights, welcoming riders of all levels. With professional judges, a friendly atmosphere, and excellent facilities, it provides an enjoyable and challenging experience that celebrates the true spirit of eventing — all within a single, well-organised competition day.

The event will start at 8am and run through until approximately 6pm.
Competitors will be given both a dressage starting time and a jumping time.
Competitors are responsible for being warmed up and ready for their respective classes.
