Beechwood is a new equestrian competition centre. It has a superb new 60x25 indoor school and marvellous facilities. We are again using this venue for our winter series.
This is a two phase competition:
The MA Phase (control of paces) demonstrates the control and obedience of the horse. The MA takes place over 50m to 150m. The MA section is awarded 50% of the points accrued for the Winter Series.
The PTV course of 10 obstacles, simulated to represent those you might meet out hacking, designed to test the riding skills, the training of your horse and the accord between you.
