There is allot of interest
for fun events and competitions , a few competitors are
interested in competing in the national indoor series,
and qualifying to go to the championships at the end of
the indoor season in April. and also some juniors have
competed in the championships and have done very well.
` These indoor
competitions are primarily for novice drivers as the top
outdoor competitors do not do these events as it is
there rest time for their horses and ponies.
So this is a time for anyone
to have a go at competition with a precision and paces
test, followed by cones, with an optimum time (not too
fast or too slow) and the obstacles. horses don't need to
be as fit for these fun activities, as there is no
marathon or even road drive, every thing is done at your
own pace, But watch the juniors,! they are quite speedy
in the obstacles..
The best types of turn
out for this event are your little ponies they are best
suited to these indoor competitions and are great fun,
usually loving it. Having said that anything goes, so if
you want to bring horses you are just as welcome, as is
any size or shape of equine.
Two or four wheeled
carriages can be used with pneumatic tyres or solid
rubber. if possible a track width of 125cm, but we will
accommodate narrower ones please let me know in advance
if yours is narrower.
