Arena Eventing at Ballindenisk

THE Fell family is running an Arena Eventing series at Ballindenisk each Wednesday and Saturday throughout February with the finals scheduled for March 2nd and 5th.

There is no dressage element to this competition at the Watergrasshill, Co Cork venue which is open to all riders who have attained their 12th birthday or will do so this year.

Using the copious space of the large sand arena, and marginally beyond, the action will take place over a course of eight show jumping fences which will be followed immediately by 12 cross-country fences including a water jump.

Each Wednesday, there will be open classes over 1m and 90cms tracks with sections at the same heights restricted to five-year-olds and four-year-olds. Every Saturday, there will be 105cms and 80cms classes.

The age class horses will be judged as to their suitability as an event horse while the other classes will be judged as a horse and rider combination.

There will be a different judge each week.
