Cherwell update - arena eventing option jumps this weekend and showjumping at 30/40/50 cm coming soon!!

Join us this weekend for arena eventing on Saturday and unaffiliated show jumping on. Sunday 60cm - 1m. This weekends arena eventing will be over a newly built course and for those of you that found the arrow heads a little tricky last time then we have included an option jump for you!

Important news for our unaffiliated followers is that we will be adding smaller heights of 30,40 50 cm to our clear round on 19 November and our Christmas fancy dress on 17 December. We will then be adding 40 and 50 cm to our unaffiliated on 26 November. If these heights are supported we will run a regular schedule for these heights on different days to our usual unaffiliated for 60- 1m.

We love these recent pics taken by Alison and this shows our new sponsor jump for our 90 cm league sponsors Gloucestershire Equine Vets. Please contact us if you are a business and would like to sponsor one of our leagues or have your own showjump here on the arena at Cherwell.

The clubhouse will be open both days serving hot drinks, snacks and homemade cakes and we look forward to seeing everyone.

Best wishes
