The event is characterised by the following:
• A friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The event runs only six cross country classes a day so that there is little pressure to catch up time if a delay occurs. Furthermore, this ensures that all competitors and volunteers undertake their tasks in good light and conditions.
• High standards throughout with great attention to detail. Both the dressage and show jumping arenas are located on large, mowed and flat areas. The latter phase is presented with a dressed BSJA Championship set. All the cross country courses are made of significant timber, well built and have clear ground lines for the horses.
• Focus on providing excellent ground. The event only runs once a year and all the areas are rolled twice between events with a large construction grade vibrating roller. Together with sheep, cattle, hay production and mother nature, all these efforts ensure that the Cotswold turf is in the best condition possible every year.
• Alterations take place across all cross country courses every year. Thus even regular competitors face a different challenge annually.
• Every year since 2003, Withington Manor Horse Trials has been fortunate enough to have needed to ballot competitors, which underpins the popularity and high standard of the event.
"It was a treat to have such a wonderfully large show jumping arena with a large working in area."
"Withington is the most amazing place with brilliant facilities. The cross country is surely one of the best built courses in the country. Withington Manor Horse Trials is an event every rider should experience."
"Apart from being very well organised, everyone was so helpful and friendly, which is so important to all but especially to the young amateur rider who do feel a little intimidated by competing against the 'pros'"
"We had a fabulous day. It was a privilege to ride on fantastic ground, with lovely flowers everywhere, bright colourful show jumps and to ride an amazing, but challenging XC track!"
Lucinda Green wrote: "What a fabulous event - thank you very very much for running all 3 phases to such an exceptionally high standard. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more in one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to." |
