ERC Winter Dressage Show
at Lower Haddon Farm, Station Road, Bampton, Oxfordshire, OX18 2AT.
By kind permission of Jane Dudley
This is a new venue for us so please bear with us as we get to grips with the layout and parking. We have really struggled to find a suitable venue so we are lucky to have found somewhere at all! Parking is limited so please follow the directions of the parking steward and park considerately. Lower Haddon have held many dressage competitions in the past so it should all work fine for us. All tests and warm-up are on an arena surface – warm-up outside, tests inside.
N.B. Lower Haddon Farm is next to Brize Norton Airfield. Sundays are usually fairly quiet but you may experience low flying aircraft nearby.
