What the organisers say
This favourite event for many riders has benefited from improvements to the going and for 2015 it will feature an enlargement of the water fences and even a return to crossing the old ford to encompass the hills beyond the Near Park.
While the BE80(T), BE90 and BE100 courses are relatively straightforward for those riders prepared to canter confidently up and down the undulating terrain, the novice course certainly asks more questions and requires a fit horse to take on the challenges.
This fixture runs a week earlier than usual to avoid the Europeans at Blair.
AW Jenkinson Forest Products continue their unfailingly supportive approach to the Hutton events, which is most appreciated.
