Ride Information The route is over the Droves, tracks and bridlepaths that abound in this area of Wiltshire. As previously, the action will all be centred on the venue at Salisbury Racecourse, with a single vet gate location there. The 130km class and all the other 12 classes are made up by using a combination of ‘loops’ of differing lengths. |
With the excellent
facilities available at the venue, including hot showers, catering and some
accommodation many riders choose to camp overnight at the venue or take
advantage of the many B&B possibilities in the area - there is, however, no
corralling at the venue.
There may be some trade stands present – these may be booked
as freestanding or, if preferred, stands may be established within the boxes in
the stable yard. Enquiries to the Ride
Secretary please.
 Farriers Toby

There will be additional awards for the
“Best Shod Horse” - one award will be given for horses in the ER classes and
one for those competing in the CRs and NCR.
Competitors in Classes 5-13 are asked to present to the farrier before
their preliminary vetting, whilst successful competitors in the ER classes are
asked to present to the farrier after their final veterinary inspection.
