Sounds good to me!!! It's just nice to hear other people's views and thoughts. My poorly paid job three children and a lack of funds means that in order to compete I have huge holes in my knicks and a not able to have lessons as much as I would like. No other horsey friends event so this forum...

Well done you! It's the best feeling in the world when to jump clear!!!

Dear Princecharming - I'll run round the showjumping and glue the poles down whilst you distract the stewards etc. Hope you qualify.

Dear VRIN I thought i was great too, so well built and the atmosphere was lovely. I am just disappointed that I didn't ride better. Thats horses and thats eventing - the important thing is how I learn from my experience and what I do now to improve I do think though the water jump was a little...

I have read some posts on skipton and wondered if anyone who competed in the BE100 could share their thoughts on fence 6 (the water jump). I was a statistic of this fence and my competition ended here with three stops. I m gutted as I was really looking forward to jumping the hedges and I can't...
