Bring your horse or pony to Red House and try out the jumps on our large and varied cross country course. These Open Days are aimed at people wanting to school their horse or pony. There are 3 courses marked out: Junior (up to 2ft), Novice (up to 2ft 9in) and Open (up to 3ft 6in). However you can choose which fences you jump, in which order you jump them and there are other fences flagged which you can also use. You can even devise your own course using the maps provided.
The Terrain is varied with open country and wooded fields, there is also a challenging technical section through a medieval moat. We now have use of some portable jumps (2ft 9in upwards) by kind permission of the Nidd Valley Riding Club and these will be placed in different locations each month to add even more variety to the course.
