Hi everyone!

I am wanting you all to rack your brains and come up with some information on cross country training that will be happening in the near future. Am desperate to educate my young horse further. Knowing that we have the silver medal eventing team, we can only back that up if we are training the up and coming horse and riders! Look forward to your replies.

You can hire out both Brookleigh and Brigadoon XC courses, for not very much...
Is that what u meant??

As what PSO said, plus Gidge and Wallangarra PC hire out their courses too.

Otherwise, if you're asking whether there are any training days for XC coming up then I'm pretty sure there's none in the near future (too late in the season now I think). I'm pretty sure Peel PC had one coming up?? Or was that last weekend?? Best just to keep a close eye on the paper

wallangarra are looking into holding a clinic type training day either at the end of the year or beginning of next year... to be honest its trying to find enough people with the same free wkend to run the things!!

horsemens pony club usually have hunter trials set in september. its not exactly a cross country training day but its pretty low key and is great exposure for safe inexperienced horses

Opal

Thanks guys, yeah def PSO, hiring a course or paying for someone to help me round a course, either way, just exposing my young horse to different jumps and getting her confident with jumping into water etc, I imagine insurance isn't an issue when hiring these out? I will contact Wallangara Buggalugs and find out when theirs is, that would be great. Well if anyone else would like to do some training let me know and we can try and co-ordinate.

I am definately in for some xc training! My horse and i are in great need of it

buggalugs

the course will be closed from the first week in sept for wally for our ODE, and then will be open for the rest of the year after it, however, there may be some major reconstruction going on over the summer break... all depends how enthusiastic everyone at the club gets...
