how funny... just to say, you are not alone!!! i have just returned from little downham horse trials, and our dressage was interesting to say the least. It was our last run of the season, and up until the past 2 weeks where he has come in and been clipped he has been very lethargic. different...
Thank you very much, that's very interesting for me having never competed at oasby before, I will definitely look into it! And I was at Aston 2 this year and had a look at the novice whilst walking my course and it all looked ok apart from a huge tricans

Im looking to move up to Novice at the beginning of next season, we've had some great DC's at BE100 and i really feel we're ready to give a Novice a shot. However, i dont have a clue where to start! I am based on border of Hertfordshire/Essex and generally travel up to 3 hours to an event...
oh i'll be there sunday! BE100 open (dont know what section that is :') ) number 710! stressage at 13.27, SJ 16.10 xc 17.05... fair to say that i have enough time to walk the xc in between ;) very sad as its last run of the season, march seems a long old way away :( good luck everyone!:)
