Well for once I actually managed to achieve my aims for 2016 😊. We had a great time round the Novice at Chatsworth, just missing out on the placings. https://www.an-eventful-life.com.au/ride/charlotte-whittle-lowmoor-superstar-chatsworth-international-2016 We also went to...

I contacted Burghley a couple of years ago regarding only being able to buy membership for 2 people. They said there wasn't the demand for single memberships. Very annoying for singletons like myself!

Vallin I think you must have been pretty much stood next to me, I was the fence judge under the tree getting a decent view between the flags of the triple brush out of the coffin. Thankfully all the run outs were clear cut!

It was a great day. I was fence judging at the investec hollow, which for the majority rode very well, so long as the rider was committed, particularly to the triple brush. The course seemed to cause the right number of problems, and not many falls. Overall I would say it was a very good day for...

Ohhh, i'll watch out for you. I'm fence judging ��.

I won a pair of the Tredstep Da Vinci boots last year. Within 3 months the Zips had come unstitched at the ankle (daily use, but only for riding 1 sometimes 2 horses a day, they rub terribly if I try walking in them). As I had won them I haven't done anything about it, and I will just wear them...

That is correct. The video is downright misleading!

They also make it sound like it is just £10 to enter an 80, and £25 for a 90 😱! Any newcomers would have a shock to find £10 is just the tip of a very large iceberg. That is of course assuming that anybody wants to have a go at eventing after watching that video!

I can see this from several angles. I am a one horse amateur, but I also have a young horse with a pro, and I have been very involved organising BE events. This year has been particularly bad for abandonments so far, and this is having a knock on effect. In a normal year clever use of ballot...

I got to go eventing 😄! 36.5 dressage in a harshly marked section which left us in the top half. 1 down SJ and then a slow clear XC 😊.

I'm exactly the same. I can cope just taking antihistamines daily when I am doing my own. But doig anything other people's can be a bit of a nightmare, especially if they are moulting. I do have to get somebody to come clip mine for me, as that sets my allergy off (I guess that isn't surprising...

I pay £35 a session with my flatwork trainer (she has ridden to GP and was on British YR team in her youth). She comes to me, and there are normally 3 of us who have a lesson (she will come out for 2, but not 1 lesson). Lessons last from 30mins - 1 hour depending on how the horse is going. For...

I have my BHSAI and a first class BSc (hons) in Equine Sport Performance. After spending almost 10 years working in the equine industry, I've just recently got a non-equine full time job (being sat in an office is a bit of a shock to the system!). I still keep up a bit of freelance teaching to...

That would be Jem. She is still going, mainly doing dressage with my Mum, although she did do a few events last year. This season a friend might take her to do some BE90s to gain experience.

Probably not, I haven't really posted for ages, it is a bit quiet in here. I tend to be on #twittereventing a bit more. Having said that I haven't had much to update on. Pickle picked up a minor injury in June so ended up missing the second half of the season. My younger one has been out doing...
