    Our second outing was on Sunday

    Well done, fab report and sounds like a really positive outing! Lovely horse. I watched the second video and it looked good - especially for first time out at prelim :) My first couple of prelims when my mare was 4 had some serious spooking and warm ups were a nightmare! Great to have some...

    much wow! 100% vaulting! Many stunts!

    As above I really like your reports! Teak is lovely and it looked like a good round, the cantering into another field and jumps on a hill seems totally random to me and I think mine would have had a serious look at that! The grey is gorgeous too, very sweet round. I also have to say I think...

    Best combination of hi-viz

    I wear at least a tabard and head band, usually one pink one yellow. Horse has minimum of hi vis leg wraps on hinds as I have been told that this is most visible as they are moving, if I have them on fronts also then opposite colour to backs (pink/yellow). Often also have hi-vis cheek pieces on...

    Clear Round Success

    Well he looks good in the video - I was thinking before that it looks much better than your description! Sounds like you are well prepared :) I have managed enough sj and dr outings, some arena xc and got up to keysoe last weekend for their arena ODE which was lovely. Just feeling like I...

    Clear Round Success

    He looks fab! Really nice round :) I'm so jealous of people headed out xc schooling already and can't believe the eventing season is nearly started! I don't think I'll have mine ready to do BE before April, can barely find anywhere to canter out hacking atm! Good luck at isleham :)

    Disaster Report :(

    Sorry to hear you had a bad day :( Sounds like it all got a bit too stressful! On a positive note at least you finished by jumping a few fences, even on the smaller course! And I wouldn't worry too much about the dressage, those arenas were sooo spooky - I nearly got knocked out and the peak...

    Weekend plans.

    I am heading to keysoe sunday. Requested late times as we have a 2 hr drive and got 8.36! They have kindly managed to move us to 10.36 and will have to slot in to jump before my other horse dressage at 12. Good luck, might see you there :)

    Double delight

    Well done, lovely report and photos! I manage to keep 2 reasonably fit and out competing but with the help of a couple of part loaners to keep them exercised. And I certainly couldn't cope with a grey! I'm also impressed at anyone that goes out competing on their own - I certainly couldn't cope...

    Team events where you ride school horses

    My very first bucs competition I was drawn first to ride a particular horse. When it was demoed I thought it looked very stiff - not lame but not right. I discussed it with my teammates and they agreed it didn't look quite right, although some of the other teams thought it was fine. I asked the...

    Nick Turner lesson. Nearly ate surface but definitely ate mane !

    Great videos, I think I have read one of your lesson reports on here before and I really enjoy them. Sounds like a good instructor, very specific guidance which really interesting. Last video you are both looking good, despite the "oops" moment! Also you have just reminded me I should get off...
