** On Jumping evenings, if time allows and there is enough interest, we may add an extra class which could be a Chase me Charlie, Top Score or other. We would consider this a novelty class and as such points would not be gained, however, rosettes for first to sixth place would be awarded.

Chase Me Charlie

A single jump is built and each competitor takes a turn to jump it. The height of the jump is raised after everyone has completed one jump. Any refusal or knockdown means instant disqualification. The winner is the competitor who is able to jump the highest.

Jumping Entries

All entrants must pay and register their name for a class, prior to entering the arena.

Dressage Entries

Dressage entries will be placed on a first come first served basis.
Payment must be received at least 1 week before the event.
Times will be posted on the website & at the Riding School during the weekend before the competition, or can be requested by email at christine@scorpex.sol.co.uk

For a set of Dressage Entry Forms send an A4 S.A.E. or call in at Houston Farm Riding School, 1 Houston Mains, Uphall, Broxburn, West Lothian, EH52 6JX or contact Christine by email at christine@scorpex.sol.co.uk.
