Tiverton Pony Club

Local Open Events
Last updated 20th September 2009

This website is moving to http://www.tivpc.org.uk

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but the "Geocities" server on which it is currently hosted is closing in October 2009
so a new address is required, and we have taken the opportunity to take out the "tivpc.org.uk" domain name for Tiverton PC.

The existing "Geocities" site will remain live until they shut down its server, but from 20th September it will no longer be updated,
and all new entries will take place on the new site.

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 problems with
the new site please contact me.

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.

If you have an event you want added to this page please contact me.
