Is your cross-country schooling course open all winter?
Horse & Hound is compiling a list of cross-country courses which are open for schooling through the winter for our cross-country special, out 6 October.
This directory should be invaluable for riders who want to get some cross-country schooling in during the winter months, whether to warm-up for hunting, sort out a problem before going team chasing, get the blood up in advance of a hunt ride or get some early practice in for the eventing season.
If your course is open after 6 October and you want to be considered for inclusion, please email the following information to eventing editor Pippa Roome (pippa_roome@ipcmedia.com) by the end of Tuesday, 13 September: venue name, address, website address, contact phone number, cost of schooling there.
UPDATED 13th September: the deadline for emailing details has been extended to 2pm on Wednesday, 14th September.
