Please note, most meets have limited numbers available, so if you wish to ride at a meet, unless otherwise stated in the meet information, you must book in advance by clicking on the “Booking ref”, which will automatically open an email to Secretary@WessexBloodhounds.com with the correct Booking ref, AND paying the appropriate cap once the Hon. Sec. has confirmed your place. By making a booking, you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions , printed on the booking acceptance email and available here. If you do not pay within 48 hours, your place will be given to someone else. In the event of bad ground conditions, it may be that we have to reduce numbers even after you have booked, in which case you will receive a refund, or you may transfer your booking to another meet. No refunds are made for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, but you may transfer that place to someone else provided you do not sell your place for more than you have paid for it.
