Priory Court Farm in Polegate held two fantastic training/competition days on 22nd June and 6th July


The riders used the skills they learnt during the training session, before having a competition round against the clock. The course gave horse and rider the chance to have a go at a variety of jumps including ditches, styles, up and down banks and combinations, as well as the water jump and steps, providing a fun and challenging day for everyone.

Local riders Poppy Benham and Kate French, regulars to JumpCross training days both had good rounds on their horses, and many new riders to JumpCross thoroughly enjoyed the day.
