Held at Northcote Stud Equestrian Centre in Lancashire, the first event in the Grub’s Arena Eventing series saw a great turnout despite the typical Grub’s weather.

 The series is aimed at ‘grass root’ level eventing with junior and senior classes of 80cm, 90cm and 1m taking place.

 Each competitor jumped a course of 16-20 fences set up in the large outdoor arena. The first part of the course was typical show jumps with the final section being a mix of rustic style jumps and solid cross-country style fences.

 Competitors battled it out try and complete the course to clear and closest to the optimum time limit allowed. The winners of each class received prize money and a pair of Grub’s performance boots.

 Said David Foster of Grub’s: “It was a great event that was well supported and there was some excellent riding, especially considering the typical Grub’s weather! It was a fun day for riders competing at all levels and it was well organised by the team at Northcote Stud. It provided a super start to the forthcoming season.”
