EVENT DETAILS
Approx 8 miles across mostly private land around the gorgeous Rutland & Leicestershire countryside with lots of OPTIONAL jumps ranging from 70cm-110cm including hunt jumps, rails & hedges. There are plenty of long grass gallops across open fields with just a couple of road crossings. If you have never ridden around this area of Rutland/Leicestershire, I can’t describe how amazing the views are – you can see for simply miles & miles! Go at whatever pace you choose – walk, trot or canter, on your own or with your friends. Book early to avoid disappointment as we are expecting another full fun ride as we do every year.
The route will be marked, with stewards around the course and both a map and full parking instructions will be issued via email to all entrants 36 hours or so before the event once entries close.
Please remember you are riding on private land at the invitation of the landowners and as ever, take great care around any wildlife, wildflowers and crops/livestock. Please also ensure you clear up any droppings in the parking area.
Please add who you wish to ride with in the relevant box so that I can group you together correctly & avoid any delays at the start. If you are aged 10 or over you must buy an Under 16 ticket or if you are aged 16 or over an adult ticket NO exceptions this year.
Photographer booked and refreshments including burgers and hot drinks available at the end (please bring CASH).
The Cottesmore Scurry & Foxhunter race rides are being run the day before the fun ride at the same venue - 2 races over a different route than the Knossington fun ride but always an incredible spectacle to watch. The Scurry is the super competitive, fast ride whereas the Foxhunter is over a smaller course against an OPTIMUM time. Everyone welcome.
Overnight stabling is available if required – please contact Harriet Bishop 07969 293 868 or [email protected]
