I would like to register my concerns and extreme implications the proposed intrusion through our paddocks will have . I am an Olympic team dressage rider ,trainer and 20 national champion .I ride and train my horses based at my home at [REDACTED] , that has been specifically designed to facilitate this purpose, Rampion are proposing to dig up to come through two of our (4 paddocks ) if the hedge of our neighbouring property that provide screening from our Nieghbours livestock is not replaced , these paddocks will no longer be able to provide a safe and secluded environment for our high level performance horses ( worth millions ) The ground that is replaced will not provide a steady underfoot surface , should the horses run around for several years , These are the only paddocks we have avalible on our property , Furthermore I believe that the land directly adjacent to my training arena , will be used for the storage of the heavey machinery , if this is the case , I will Not be able to train my horses , in a reasonable and safe manner , as they will be spooked and disturbed by the noise , I have 11 stables and high level performance horses training to the highest Olympic levels , of considerable value , the property is specifically designed for this purpose . So this would make our facilities completely unsafe for this purpose .!as the horses are very powerful , and excitable , and would be too unsafe and dangerous to handle in a disruptive and noise environment . Especially if the paddocks are unsuitable , with nowhere for them to have some outside safe and free down time .
