RA Cross Country Course
The RA cross country course at Knighton Down is well known throughout the region as one of the best courses and grounds in this area of the country.  With fantastic going and beautiful scenery it remains popular for Cross Country, Hunter Trials and when available, training days. 
The course is used at the start of each season by British Eventing for a ODE, providing a quality route and jumps of the highest standards for the following season.  The course is managed by the Royal Artillery Equestrian Committee, providing the ability for civilian clubs to use the course for holding there own events.  The course traditionally hosts the Army and Royal Artillery Hunter Trial (ARAHT) at the end of the season in October.  The ARAHT is well attended not only by Military riders but also civilian clubs and individuals.
