*MAY SHOWJUMPING DATES AT PONDEROSA *

19/04/2024

To all competitors attending our events this weekend, please note there is a road closure in place on the usual route and as such you will be accessing the venue via the new road into the village (and new junction - pictured) which will also serve as a good test for the new road!..

Still coming in off the dual carriage way as usual but carrying straight on through the new estate.

Please check out the website link https://www.ponderosaec.co.uk/location for directions.

For new competitors we are 1.6 Miles off junction 24 M4 so only making us quick and easy to access for most of Wales & South West.

If you live in England we urge you to try our venue out, it’s probably a lot closer than you think being only 15-20 minutes over the Prince of Wales Bridge.
