Freda Posted 25 minutes ago Share Posted 25 minutes ago Ditto. No. It does have some schooling fences but they aren't ( IMO ) suitable to get a ticket, more just to pop a horse over for a change in routine. Nothing special and no more than should be available at any training facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted 20 minutes ago Share Posted 20 minutes ago And a gripe of mine is the amateur race running on the AWT. Races are run at speed on that surface and for riders who don't have the opportunity to race ride regularly, things can happen much too fast. I have heard a couple of comments like ' bugger that, that was scary ' and ' not again, too quick, didn't feel safe '...and not from novices either, some that had been professional jocks earlier on.
