What the organisers say
Norton Disney is now in its sixth year, with this new spring fixture adding to the regular autumn date. It offers an enjoyable event run by an enthusiastic team with many years of experience within the sport.
The dressage is sited in a large, well-drained and open field with plenty of room for warming up.
Beau Wood’s showjumping course is on flat, level and well-drained soil in a 60x90m roped arena with ample warm up.
The cross-country is designed by Joe Weller. The well-dressed, up to height courses run over free-draining soil, with fenced galloping tracks over open, slightly undulating terrain. The courses boast both permanent and portable obstacles, offering alternatives at the more difficult fences. These courses offer everything that is required to give a safe, encouraging and challenging experience for both young horses and novice riders. With the new BE80(T) track we run all levels up to and including novice.
