A huge thank you to everyone who made today possible
On behalf of the committee and all the competitors, we would like to extend a very special thank you to the army of volunteers who gave up their time on 4 May to allow the event to run.  We especially appreciate everyone who rearranged their diaries at such short notice to come along and help. We really couldn't have done it without you.  (Added 4 May)

NEW!  UNOFFICIAL RIDING CLUB TEAM COMPETITION ON SUNDAY 12 AUGUST
Sponsored by:
We set the stage for affiliated riding clubs in Scotland to compete in a friendly inter-club competition.  Each team needs one rider competing at CSHT in a BE80T class, one in a BE90 class, one in a BE100 class and a fourth team member competing at any of those levels on 12 August.  Each member will enter the event and compete in their class just as in any BE competition. Then once the BE results are known, we'll total the team scores (lowest three scores will count) and the team with the lowest score will walk away unofficial Scottish Riding Club Champions for 2012! 

Full information and rules here - see you in August!  (Added 10 April)
Painting party part 2 - Wednesday 18 April, 2pm till dark!
The last painting party was such a great success that we've organised another one.  This time we'll be on course at Scone Palace putting the finishing touches to the fences on course, clearing the ditches, tidying the water jump, stringing the course and so on.  Whether you can come for an hour, just the afternoon or evening or the whole time we'd love to see you. No previous experience required, just old clothes (extra waterproofs always a good idea!) and a sense of humour. Names to Sue Lawrie please asap so we can let you know where to meet etc.  (Added 7 April)
Finishing touches to the final fences
Two new challenges for the 2012 course, an open parallel and an open corner.  So now all we need to do is get them painted and out on course, can't wait to see them in place in a couple of weeks! (Added 7 April)
A fun-filled day for all the family - free entry for spectators
Whether you are an equestrian fanatic or a countryside lover the horse trials is fun for the whole family. As well as high level eventing spectators can enjoy the shopping village, a choice of catering, a bouncy castle and fun dog show, all set in the Scone Palace parklands. Easy access, free parking (charity donations welcome) and free entry. Dogs on leads welcome. Spectators welcome from 8am. 
Painting party pals do us proud 
We'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who turned up to paint. Thanks to everyone's hard work, all 13 new fences have been painted - and don't they look fab?!  It's amazing how a bit of paint has transformed the pile of boring brown fences into eyecatching jumps each with their own identity. 

Without the help of such willing, enthusiastic - and slightly paint-splattered - volunteers it would be impossible to run these events, so thanks again guys. (Added 5 March)
