Closing date extended to
Monday 6th September (postmarked)
A change to ride information as follows:
ER Classes 3 and 4 may be vetted on Sunday morning. Classes 1 and 2 still need to be vetted
on Saturday and this will take place between 5pm and 7pm
When making your entry, please ensure that you have
completed the entry form fully and have enclosed an up-to-date copy of your flu
vaccination certificate that shows inoculations back to the two primaries and
an indication of the horse to which it refers! As for all EGB Rides, entry forms must be signed at the foot
of the page by the rider and must show Horse Registration number, Rider
Membership number and standard of both horse and rider – cheques should be made
payable to Endurance GB. It would
be appreciated if you could ensure that the stamped, self-addressed envelope
for returning your ride details is at least A5 size (but preferably A4) and you
are reminded that, if you are expecting to be sent details for more than one
rider, you might be wise to add extra postage!
The venue at Salisbury Racecourse has excellent facilities and is close to the
mediaeval Cathedral
City whilst also being in
the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
There is a good choice of restaurants within the City Centre and, of
course, many very good country pubs close by. Riders are reminded that the Fox & Goose pub in Coombe
Bissett is only a few minutes away from the racecourse and you will find Keith
and Sara very amenable hosts there.
As you will probably remember, our 2007 event had to be
cancelled at the very last minute (the Wednesday before it was due to take
place!) due to Foot and Mouth, so there are no photos or results to show you
from 2007!
The following shots are some of Liz Hinings’ photos taken
during Three Rivers 2006 ….

In
2007 the ride was cancelled just 4 days before it was due to take place, due to
Foot and Mouth complications – so no results at all for that year!
