This website is moving to http://www.tivpc.org.ukI'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but the
"Geocities" server on which it is currently hosted is closing
in October 2009 The existing "Geocities" site will remain live
until they shut down its server, but from 20th September it will
no longer be updated, So please go to http://www.tivpc.org.uk
now, and also update any links you may have to the old site. If you have

This page contains information about local shows, horse trials, rides, etc in Devon and Somerset that are run by Pony Clubs, Riding Clubs, Hunts, villages and other organisations for which I have schedules.
The calendar page gives a summary for the whole year organised by date - and contains links to many more events.
For Tiverton Pony Club private events see the events page.
For a list of Riding Clubs in your area (with links to their websites) see the
"Riding Clubs" link on the BHS home page.
Triathlon and Tetrathlon events are not shown below. They have their own special Tetrathlon page, and their dates also appear on the Calendar.
The listings below represent only a small fraction of what is going on, and are chosen to appeal to enthusiastic but not "professional" children and adults (for example BSJA, BE, etc events are not included). Virtually all of the below should be within one hour travelling time from Tiverton with a lorry or trailer.
I would also recommend checking out the following websites of our "local" XC courses, and there are further venue contact details at the bottom of the page.
Blackdown Hills cross-country course | Bicton Arena, near Budleigh Salterton |
Pontispool, Norton Fitzwarren Pontispool Cross-country course | Stockland Lovell Stockland Lovell Manor Cross-country course |
Southcott Cross Country, Winkleigh | Nutwell Court Cross Country, Lympstone |
Treborough Cross Country Treborough Common, Exmoor | |
Also try The Riding Diary website which has an excellent "search by area, date and type of event" facility covering the whole country. |
