I just spent a week at Topline Stables. My week included a two day Horse Trials BC clinic with Sarah Bradley, the Topline Combined test and the Topline Summer Horse Trials. This was an incredible training opportunity for my horses and I would like to thank Sonya and King Campbell of Topline Stables and Horse Trials BC for enabling this to happen. Topline Stables is a beautiful facility that BC is very lucky to have.
Having a clinic just before the event was great for my young, green horse as it exposed him to the field and jumps then over the next several days transitioned him into the show atmosphere. This was an excellent opportunity for condensed, progressive training and provided a very positive experience for him. Topline has recently incorporated a Combined Test of dressage and show jumping the day prior to the event. I love this idea and found it to be extremely educational and helpful in training and preparing for competition. Separate awards and prizes make the Combined Test a competition of it's own....The summer horse trials were fantastic. The hogfuel dressage ring and huge show jump arena with top class show jumps made the event challenging and fun. The cross country had excellent footing, varied terrain, safe and interesting jumps, and provided progressive levels of competition from Starter to Training level. The facility is upgraded constantly and very well maintained. Sonya and King went out of their way to accommodate the competitors and their horses which was wonderful. The atmosphere was calm and fun while still being competitive and top class. Topline also has great prizes too!! Horse blankets, coolers, saddle pads, really nice duffle bags, Greenhawk certificates, and much more. I would definitely recommend this event and plan to support them at future events. Thank you!
