📚 What to Expect:
✔️ A deep dive into fence types at different levels
✔️ Understanding distances and lines across the grades
✔️ How fence design and structure impact performance
✔️ The role of safety devices and their use in modern eventing
✔️ How cross-country questions progress through the levels

💬 Ask Away! This will be an interactive session with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss key elements of course design.

The course will run from 2-5pm and will be outdoors on the cross country course so make sure you're dressed for the weather. Please meet at the start box at 2pm.
