. TUESDAY SCHOOLING NIGHTS - CHANGE OF FORMAT. As from Tuesday, 24th January, 2012 the format will change for schooling nights. The evenings will not have a competitive nature and will be used for schooling. There will still be a course of fences but these will include fences that may be problematic i.e. water tray, stile, fillers, filler boards. There will be courses set at 65cms, 75cms, 85cms, 95cms and 1.05cms. Each course will be jumped twice by each competitor and double clears will collect a rosette. Should there be a need for higher fences on a particular evening this will be accommodated. The intention is to allow riders to attempt problematic fences without the pressure of competition. Brian Watson will be on hand each evening to assist riders in completing the courses. It will be the riders choice if they wish to leave a particular fence out of their round. Please view the schedule on the calendar. Should anyone have a particular request they can contact Brian on 01337 831244, Mobile 07921681853 or by e-mail at
