The Start Box on the Cross Country course is a quite literally wear it starts. This is the starting line for horse and rider as they take on the challenges of a cross country round. Setting off at speed riders guide their horse into the box and on their mark, they begin. The Start Box is used for many of Eland Lodge's events from British Eventing to Unaffiliated Eventing, Hunter Trials and training events. Up to 250 riders can leave the box on event days with a final Good Luck from our Starter.  AID Fuel Oils Group have kindly provided these smart boards to create our start box. These vibrant boards create a impressive starting point for all riders.

John Coupland, Managing Director said: 'We have had a super relationship with AID going back some 20 years, great people doing their best for Eland Lodge. So I am particularly pleased to again welcome them as a sponsor for 2024."
