Unfortunately due to severe rainfall we had to cancel our XC clinic on the 6th February. It was a great shame as everyone was looking forward to blowing the cobwebs away and getting ready for the year. We have managed to reschedule the date to the 27th February. Please keep checking out the clinic page on the website for dates throughout the year. www.tinneyeventing.com
