New Jumps for 2010

Water Jump

Construction finally began at the beginning of May when Tim Bennett BE accredited Course Designer and Builder arrived. The site was marked out and digging began. Andrew did an excellent job with the mini digger shaping and levelling the site under Tim's supervision. The liner and hardcore arrived with split second timing with Tim and Andrew working hard to ensure the whole project came together successfully. Mother Nature smiled down on us and the weather stayed fine.

Two days later we were ready for the water. It took most of the day to fill to the required level and a sigh of relief went around the next day when the water was still there - the liner had held. That is the downside to having beautifully free draining land - when you want to retain water you can't! All we need now is a bit of rain so the re-seeding around the banks can take hold. It rides really well as the water depth is 0 - approx 6" with approach possible from all 4 sides so you can choose the depth you enter at.

Drop Fence

Our second new fence for the 2010 season is a drop fence incorporated into the wall linking the 2 fields. It can be ridden from both sides with a choice of 2 levels so come along and have a go.

  

 

Cross Country Course

The Cross Country Course is built on approximately 10 acres of gently undulating permanent pasture covering 2 fields. The fences are portable (with a forklift so strong and well built) and can be moved to ensure the take off and landing sites remain in good condition.

The fences are all optional and range from 12" to 3’ 6” high so you can pick and choose your level and pace.  The track is changed regularly so is different for every Show Cross competition we hold.  Thus giving a productive training and/or competition experience and most importantly FUN for horse and rider!

Regular Cross Country clinics are held with local Professional Eventing Star Sue Chadwick – see Events website www.turburyequisport.co.uk . Bespoke individual training can be organised.

The course will be available for external hire to riding clubs, groups and individuals by the hour with block booking discounts available.

The course includes the following fences: Photos and course plan coming soon!

Phase 2 – Future Plans: Farm Ride

As part of our expansion plans to enhance your training experience at Turbury we intend to build a Farm Ride set in 50 acres.  The course will be designed and constructed by a British Eventing accredited team.  We have confirmation that our site, subject to the fences once built, meeting their standards, will be accepted as a member of UK Chasers, giving you the confidence and peace of mind that the course will be of a nationally recognised quality and standard.

The fences will all be optional and range from approximately 18" to 3’ high so you can pick and choose your level and pace.
