Good afternoon farm riders
We might get some much needed rain! How many are doing rain dances in the hope we get a little?
Although the ground is dry we have good grass cover on many fields. At least you won't be pulling shoes off ππ
We have put all the jumps out but please be careful as not all horses and ponies are happy to be jumped on dry ground. This is absolutely at riders discretion
I am busy baking cakes.
Lemon drizzle and brownie are out of the oven. School cake has just gone in.
I have Wagyu burgers, Pulled Wagyu Brisket. Pork & leek sausages, bacon brie and cranberry, Wagyu chilli nachos all on the menu.
Don't forget to bring plenty of cash as signal is terrible so our card machine won't work in the parking field. All riders are to pay the remaining money on the gate and don't forget to visit the catering trailer.
We have a great team of photographers again tomorrow. Please don't be shy at asking for photos. The team would rather capture what you want than not at all. You are welcome to go over jumps again if you feel you have been missed. They do their very best to get all riders but at busy times it can be difficult. They won't mind one bit being asked.
Please follow the one way system down to the parking field. Turn off the sat nav once you pick up the 1st sign. The best way to get to us is via Shap then head to Bampton and Haweswater. The one way system is to help you arriving as we have riders arriving and leaving throughout the day.
See you all tomorrow
