Thanks for the advice everyone.... I was just worried I was missing something really simple and not flicking the right switches to get it to charge properly.... but sounds like it needs replacing, so will get it looked at this week.
Can someone give me an idiot proof guide?
The battery has always charged off the lorry battery whilst driving and not been a problem.
A few months ago the lorry battery was flat and I had to get someone out to start it.
I did a few short journeys after that so didn't switch the water/light...
Ok thanks everyone..... so the conclusion is I've definitely qualified but am unable to attend MG at the amended date, so now just have to decide if want to make a trip up to sunny Scotland :-)
At least overnight (hopefully) the traffic wouldn't be too bad I guess..... its definitely worth a bit more thought. Will have to check when the entry closes and make a decision as late as I can get away with! And maybe plead for a late time! Has anyone else had confirmation from either BD or...
It does look fairly direct on the motorway.... its just I'm at work til 6pm Friday and so guess would end up travelling in the early hours of Saturday.... in theory could stay over Saturday night then travel back the following day to break up the driving but both me and the horse would be fairly...
Ok thanks for that info.... It was Manor Grange I was intending going to .... but does look like its the date of 21/22nd as per the BD website and not 7/8th as listed on Petplan.... which clashes with the camp.... the next closest for me would be up in Scotland at Morris which would be a fair...

still think they need to clarify the date and update whichever site is wrong tho as I doubt I'm the only one that's affected...
I'm a bit confused as to whether I've definitely qualified or not! We attended the 1st rounds in June and came 7th with a fairly average score of 62.8%. The venue we attended said this was a qualification for the 2nd rounds and yet I've had no correspondence from BD or Pet Plan to confirm this...
I had exactly the same problem with mine.... micklem sent me longer straps but even then I couldn't get it to fit properly with the full cheek (plus I like to use keepers on the full cheek. It fits perfectly with an egbutt.
Slightly off topic (but will admit to being the worst over-thinker ever).... but on the subject of varying work..... I was based at a livery yard that had excellent facilities and yet the hacking was rubbish.... which meant that my horses did a fair amount of work in the school.... I moved them...
One of the judges appreciated the situation and commented 'what a shame she wasn't on side today. Not your day' The other two commented as if that was the way I intended to ride to the test so yes pretty much! I was like.... I worked my backside off to qualify so surely it must be obvious this...
