New JumpCross season 2010

The new season of JumpCross at Priory Court Farm, Polegate, East Sussex has got off to a great start with the first training day of the year taking place on Sunday 2nd May.

The results were:

Another training day was held on Sunday 6th June. Many riders took part to enjoy the day, and had training on the course which included the steps, bank and ditch and the water complex, before taking part in a competition within the group at the end. We had 2 groups of 6 riders. Chris Pearson and his horse Friday are regulars to JumpCross and were this time joined by Chris’s wife Vicky and Splash who both had a great time and did really well in the competition round.

Many horse and riders turned up to the open course day and competition at Priory Court Farm on 21st June. This gave riders the opportunity to try the course if they had never been before or practice for regular JumpCross riders. They had the chance to have a go at the ditch, water and Joker fence at the end of the course.

Local rider Billie Wood on He’s a Geeza, a regular at JumpCross this year won the competition with an excellent time and a clear round including opting for the joker fence which they cleared successfully.
