With competitions continuing unabated at Ravensdale Lodge, registered ponies join the already tight schedule of leagues at the centre on Thursday evening from 5pm. This will be the first week of registered ponies in 2014 as they join the horses who jump from 11am the same day. Half way through the winter / spring season show organisers are already looking at the forthcoming spring / summer run of shows which commence the first week of May. There will be the usual mix of registered show jumping, combined with the ever popular training shows which run every Friday throughout the year. Dressage, cross jump and arena eventing will complete the comprehensive list of competitions which are set to run over the summer, full details of which will be announced and published in the coming weeks. Spring leagues continue this week with the Crowne Plaza SJI registered horse league set once again for Thursday from 11am with the usual modified classes from 80cm (M) to 1.30m (M), registered ponies will follow from 5pm with the usual 128cm, 138cm & 148cm classes on offer for all ponies looking for points. Horse & pony training continues Friday evening from 5.30pm and this is an ideal opportunity to jump a well designed registered track with classes from X poles to 1.10m.
