Then come along to Sissons Working Hunter Absolute Beginners Training (for horse or pony). A new class designed with budding Working Hunter competitors in mind. The course is a working hunter course with rustic poles (no water jumps) set at a height of 1 16 max. A working hunter judge is on hand to guide you over the course giving you valuable hints and tips along with those all important words of encouragement.
The training is for horses or ponies alike, with riders of any age to come along and try it out and if the training class goes well you can then enter in the 23 Absolute Novice Working Hunter class.

Competition Training 1' - 1'9" Trial Period - Something New for 2008!
You will notice a new section replacing Clear Round for some events -
namely Competition Training at a height of 1' - 1'9" for Absolute
Beginners - or Bottom Hole Jumping - It will run for 1 hour only and
Riders will be allowed a max of 2 Refusals at a jump with a total
maximum of 6 Refusals per round, which will then result in elimination.
Riders may be accompanied. Riders will then only be able to enter the
Absolute Novice Class at 2'3". New Rules on Back Page of schedule.
Let Ann know what you think.
This class is intended to increase the confidence of new riders or
horses/ponies new to jumping and as such will be restricted to riders
that fall into this category. Anybody who blatantly contradicts
the sprit of this Class will be banned from competing for the rest
of the day.
Wednesday Evening Shows
Wednesday Evening's start on 2nd April running through to September -

British Dressage Class Tickets!
Please note: British Dressage Class Tickets can now be obtained from
Sissons Farm - just speak to Ann - £6 each. No more waiting for BD to
send them through the post.
Clear Round Rules
We have introduced some new rules to make it fairer for all riders. We have taken this action to avoid
unnecessary delays but on some Sundays the Clear Round will be run separately in part of the Warm Up Arena
so more time will be allowed.
Clear Round is not to be used as a Schooling Session.
A max of 5 refusals (total) or a time of 3 minutes will be allowed, per
rider. Riders must leave the Arena after 5 refusals or 3 mins.
A max of 20 tickets will be sold, (1 ticket per Horse) in the first
instance from the start of the hour so you could be disappointed
if you are not booked in!
Arena Hire & Schooling Sessions
If you would like to have a schooling session - see Ann to book the Arena
its only £15 for the first horse for one hour (which equates to 20 Clear Rounds!)
