Portman
Portman kicked off the action over the last seven days, with a selection of classes up to IN run on Tuesday and Wednesday (5-6 April). Set in the Rushmore Estate in Wiltshire, the courses are deigned to be suitable for first timers and those wanting to build experience. Plenty of horses enjoyed a run on the old turf, full results can be found here.
Breckenbrough
The sandy and well-drained soil, together with the investment the team has made in stone pads for take offs and landings at certain points on the course, made for super spring going at Breckenbrough in Yorkshire over the weekend (9-10 April). New Course designer, Judith Shipton-Ellis set some lovely educational courses from BE80 to Novice. Click here for full results.
Larkhill
Larkhill provided some super courses set on the well-drained chalk downland on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire on Saturday and Sunday. There was plenty of success for riders from the South West, especially those based locally in Wiltshire. See the full results here.
