Carleton Riding Club has decided to slightly change the format of the group's shows at Easton College for this year, meaning that dressage will take place in the morning, with showjumping in the afternoon at all shows.

Nickie Southgate from the club said: 'The plan will be to start the dressage at 8.30am and run two rings – one indoors and one out. The indoor ring we will stop about 11am and the outdoor arena will continue until around midday. Therefore from 11am to 12.30 we can course build for the showjumping and start at 12.30. This new schedule will give competitors more space to warm up.'

The dates for the Carleton Riding Club dressage and showjumping shows at Easton College are April 15, May 20, June 17, August 19, September 16, October 21. Find out more at www.carletonridingclub.co.uk.
