be along the lines of:

Dressage,
either your standard class test or we can offer the Indoor test for those
planning to compete indoors this season, we will need to know your preference.
Marathon and
cones, we will combine a cones course between 3 hazards that you will drive
twice, between 4-5km, paces to be confirmed.
Entries
close on 20th September, we need a minimum of 25 entries to make this work, if
we do not get the numbers then we will cancel this event.
