CSHPC Hunter Trials 26 September 2009
The Central Scotland Highland Pony Club are this year hosting something a bit different - a cross country competition for all of the Mountain & Moorland breeds in the UK. The event will still be run in the usual format of "have-a-go" (i.e. you cannot be eliminated, if you don't like a fence, don't do it!!). Each fence will also have 3 height options so if you have a youngster new to XC then you can take it easy over the smaller option. There will be separate classes for each breed and 1st - 6th place rosettes in each class, so please lets make this a showcase event and encourage lots of native ponies along and lets show the world what they can all do! The event takes place at Gleneagles EC, Auchterarder. For more information and schedule please visit www.cshpc.co.uk
