Why not come and have a go
You can come and practice the four Prix Caprilli classes -
Class 1: Raised Poles - this is a test in walk and trot only and incorporates trotting poles
Class 2: 50cm - this is a test in walk, trot and canter. There will be three low cross poles to be jumped out of a trot, and one small upright to be jumped out of a canter in both directions
Class 3: 60cm with 2 jumps - this is a test in walk, trot and canter. There will be two jumps
Class 4: 60cm with 3 jumps - this is a test in walk, trot and canter. There will be three jumps
It is a simple test of horsemanship in which a horse's all round schooling can be shown. To get good marks, the horse should be obedient and move in balance with a rhythmic tempo. Jumping the fences, or trotting over the poles, should be done smoothly with a minimum of disturbance to the rhythm.
Copies of the tests have been provided - please note all tests will be performed in a 20m x 40m arena
