ABANDONED - THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND (1) HORSE TRIALS ON SATURDAY 6TH & SUNDAY 7TH APRIL AT THE ARDINGLY SHOWGROUND
It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the abandonment of The South of England (1) Horse Trials in ten days time.
We have tried our utmost to run the event but every plan and alteration has been thwarted by the unprecedented rainfall and resultant waterlogged ground.
Since entries opened the wet weather has been relentless. Despite the recent respite, the four good drying days have had little effect and the ground is still too sodden over large parts of the cross country courses. With more rain forecast there is no possibility that the ground will dry enough to make it safe for both horses and riders, and to get the emergency services to certain areas safely. Ultimately there was only one decision that could be made by the officials.
We apologise fully realising this is a huge disappointment to all our competitors and to the fantastic teams of course builders, stewards, volunteers and sponsors who work so hard on these events. We tried our best and hope you understand the impossible circumstances.

Competitors Schedule
Our dressage arenas are some of the best in the country. We use the showground's permanent showing rings and immediate areas with plenty of warm-up space, ring side viewing and disabled parking.
The showjumping in the spring is held in the fabulous Cuckfield ring, this permanent grass arena is maintained throughout the year by the fantastic ground staff and plays host to other top BSJA showjumping events.
There is a substantial warm up in the adjacent to the Cuckfield ring. Both rings are aggravated and rolled with our specialist machinery and watered should the need arise.
Course Designers: John Farrell
