This event has been cancelled
Unfortunately the unexpected heavy and extended rainfall overnight means that it is now unsafe to run this event as we are not able to ensure that safety vehicles and paramedics can access the course. The amount of rain was significantly more than anticipated and there is standing water on the course. We hope that you will appreciate that this decision has been made with safety of horse and rider as prime concern.
