Ground conditions were remarkably good, despite the amount of rainfall the Brinsbury Campus at Chichester College received in recent weeks.

All groups on the training day thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, with riders lapping up the one-mile long course, complete with water crossings and great areas to "kick on".

Said Hannah Vaughan, of Chichester College: "The comments received from the people who attended the training day were great. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day."

Courses are specifically designed to provide horse and rider with the experience of jumping cross-country without having to worry about the dangers surrounding jumping solid fences '“ yet the knock-down fences still command balance, skill and respect to jump them cleanly.

Training days run for approximately two hours and are open to all ages and abilities, headed by accredited JumpCross instructors.

They are offered to encourage those new to the sport to "test the waters" and those committed to coming regularly to competition days to constantly improve their performance.
