BE Sport Director, Mike Etherington-Smith says: “Tri-zone® Training Classes are specifically aimed at encouraging competitors to take that first step onto the eventing ladder in a safe and fun environment. The dressage is not too daunting and the maximum height of any fence is 80cm. Competitors can be assured of high-quality courses and well-run events which are run under BE rules.”
