I'm 5'5 and I've just taken the ride on a 17.2hh warmblood to event, with the aim of novice and maybe further! he is a sweetheart though!

Everything of mine goes in the boot of the car! Dad has a pick up truck so end up having to climb in to reach everything in back- not ideal! Will be following this thread for ideas, correct me if I'm wrong but the tack lockers look quite bulky? Where would they fit in? Wouldn't they get in...

Will do! if I get it done early will be good to get opinions before the final hand in date, Thankyou!

The making it read more like an essay is a good point, as well as adding the injuries in as a result of the topic being talked about rather than having them as separate topics themselves. Thankyou- again :)

I see what you mean, No point just skimming over the surface of each subject- thanks for the alteration to the title too- oops!

I didn't think of ground conditions- silly of me as it's a big factor! Where are you studying, if you don't mind me asking? Thankyou :)

Thankyou! I did think I would need more than 5000- but unfortunately that's my limit, was planning to write it and then cut down.

Thankyou! Both very helpful suggestions, thought I needed others opinions to bring other subjects to light. :)

Done :)

Aims for 2013- Compete in BS newcomers - which we have done- yay - start competing BE - also done- not the most successfully I add Aims for 2014- Buy a new Event horse- and sell my current showjumper :( Compete the new event horse to Novice BE by end of season- will be a hard...

completely agree about the 'not too careful showjumpers' my boy excels showjumping - very careful, and hes great to xc school, but on a xc course he cant cope galloping into fences, dosent enjoy it one bit.

This just made me think about what i do, as like most things in riding you do it without thinking about doing it. i tend to sit up between fences but with a soft seat (i hope). But i think its because my boy is big in the shoulders so he needs you off them so that he can lift. And i've had...

Apparently, Clifton Pinot, ridden by Kevin Mcnab is on the pending list, as also tested positive at burghley? Hopefully it's just a coincidence and unrelated

Good idea! Will do that this weekend! Not planning to jump it till 9th November, so have some more practice time :)
