Cross Country Schooling open until 1 December

For anyone interested in Schooling from 1 December on, please contact Gretchen ([email protected]) to see if your date/time can be accommodated.

Cross Country schooling is open for scheduled appointments using our online reservation system in place below. Each person registered will receive a follow up confirmation with further instructions should the weather and/or footing be uncertain.

Recognizing that some are uncomfortable jumping in an area with loose horses, our portables will now be located in our Lake Field.  Levels from Elementary thru Modified, with a few Preliminary fences, will be available.  There will not be flags attached but each fence will be suitably sited and prepared for jumping.

All of our three cross country fields remain available.  There are numerous permanent fences-ditches, banks and so on in all areas as well as very good galloping opportunities over varied terrain. 

Here is a map you can download OR view via CourseWalk of our Schooling Fences

There will be water in one of our lake field water jumps.

The location of portables will be changed twice monthly, at the beginning and middle of each month.
