THE first round of this year’s Baileys Horse Feeds Flexi Eventing series took place last Saturday at The Meadows Equestrian Centre where, despite a very wet and windy morning, there was an increase in numbers in all three disciplines compared to the same fixture 12 months previously.

“We were delighted with the turn-out,” said The Meadows’ Aaron McCusker who designed and built the tracks for the two jumping phases. “Since last year, we have constructed a new water complex which we can change around with the use of logs in and out and even in the water itself. We have also put in a bit of a bank and hope to construct a new one for next year as part of our continued development here at The Meadows.”
