BE says 'an interesting up to height novice' I've not ridden the novice track but imo it wouldn't be suitable for a first run. As said above it's pretty beefy, big fences and some fairly technical bits too. Lots of eliminations when I was there last year, and not a single person made it round...

Oh definetly get stuck in and enjoy the prospect of getting out again My idiot TB seems finally to be coming right so I may join you for a glass!

I used day tickets a while back, you will need a horse/owner ticket as well as your rider one. Also I'm pretty sure Strathallan can be entered online via www.bdwp.co.uk, and i always send a normal envelope and seems fine... What class are you in? Should *finger and toes crossed* have madam fit...

Sounds promising! Love the picture, HUGE jump and very sweet expression - "what are those?!!!". You'll be going advaced in no time

Depending on how strong she is you could try hacking/jumping etc with her flatwork bit but with the grackle and martingale to give you a bit of extra control? What other bits have you tried her in? I'm not a big fan of the fixed moutpiece in a kimblewick but some horses really like it...maybe...

My old eventer was similar - grid work, especially with bounces in helped hugely (something like a fence, 1 stride, fence bounce fence, one stride and spread out). Also acute cross poles with the sides really high made her pick up a bit. Combination of the two seemed to help, but ultimately her...

I don't know about Tweseldown, but registering your horse would help as you'd be prioritised over normal day ticket entries.Aslo you would be able to use ballot stickers for your horse so you'd be less likely to be balloted.That's probably not terribly clear, too tired but it's all in the rule...

I was there last autumn, grooming not riding , but i walked round the BE100 and Novice courses, BE100 seemed fairly straight forward. there were a few doubles including a ditch with a stride to a fence, and a skinny coming out of a double.all rode well though, and didn't seem too big.water was...
