Denmead Fun Event & Show

Forest Road, Denmead by kind permission of Messrs J Tee & D Cutler

Entries close Wednesday before Show - please check on website for changes/cancellations due to adverse weather conditions

EVENT (ODE) & DRESSAGE CLASSES

* = lead rein permissible

ODE consists of Dressage, show jumping + a short "Cross Country". (a mix of working hunter & fixed fences - Average 20 jumps)
Scores are marked on what you achieve rather than penalties - if you do not like a fence leave it out and carry on! After 3 attempts at any one fence you MUST move on. Time allowed is generous so there is no need to hurry but marks will be taken off for excessive time taken.
Course Walks. There will be escorted course walks during the morning. Your horse may accompany you on these. Please check time of walks.
Prize giving will take place as soon as possible after completion of each section. If you are not staying please make arrangements to collect rosettes later.
