How to book.
Balquholly Cross Country is open pretty well all the year round provided the weather and ground conditions permit. However, the water jump will be empty from middle of November through to the end of February - this is to allow essential maintenance to be carried out. A reduced fee will be charged during this period.
The fee for using the course is £15 per horse and there is no time limit. The sand school is free to use for warm-up purposes although a separate charge will be made if the sand school and show jumps are to be hired separately.
Limited stabling is available for hire if planning to stay overnight - shavings can be provided.
Parking may be restricted on some occasions so visitors are advised, where possible, to park trailers around the roundabout next to the stables and lorries up by the sand school unless otherwise directed.
As the drive has a gradient it is recommended that all vehicles stay in low gear.
If you wish to book the course or request information please contact Alastair Garnett on 01888 511467. If no one is available to take your call please leave a message and your enquiry will be answered as soon as possible.
Balquholly Cross Country is situated about 4 miles south of Turriff and 2 miles west off the A947 Turriff / Fyvie road at the Kingsford / Howegarden (sign posted) turn off.
