Lindores Optimum Time Trial

Riding with a stopwatch can be a daunting process and safety in the sport is paramount so anything we can do to help riders and instructors practice balanced, controlled pace is a positive move forward.  The Lindores Optimum Time Trial has been underway since 2017 because of the team’s strong desire to collaborate with Optimum Time and give the fields grass structure enough time to establish.

Lindores Equestrian’s collaboration with Optimum Time sees the launch of Scotland’s first pace training facility with stopwatch hire, in Fife. Lindores Optimum Time Trial incorporates optional British Eventing style 80cm and 1m cross country fences on a safe grass track with 30 second markers set for BE80, BE90 and BE100 speeds.
