Despite his eyesight issue, he coped really well in 2015 as a demo horse at Your Horse Live. I was picked as a reserve rider last year so couldn't believe I got picked this year ����

Did you find somewhere? My friend has a lovely place in oxfordshire

Anyone going? I've been selected as one of the demo riders 🙊🙈 my lad is currently on 24/7 turn out on mud 😔 no facilities so can't work him. Could be interesting

Solihull run on the BE course. You can see all their XC courses on You Tube The showjumping is on a surface. Their SJs are up to height and usually wide (I have an oxer fear!) The XC is lovely, but last time I went fence 5 was back in the same field as the start box, so my lad saw the lorry...

Look up Lands Eventing - they run some lovely ones at Offchurch of fabulous ground. The Pre-Area warm up isn't ideal for a first step up as it's often built to size and technical. But all the ODEs are fair courses There's Moreton Morrell (Warks), Aston Le Walls (nr Banbury)

What a lovely photo :D Don't forget your smile and number bib ;) What about this checklist: http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/ultimate-eventing-checklist-everything-need-big-day-532939 http://www.doversaddlery.com/images/art/eventing%20checklist.pdf

I'm back..... my I'm playing groom, as my mum is pinching my horse for some arena eventing on Sunday :D

Around Oxfordshire there are: Lands Eventing - www.landseventing.co.uk Horse Events - www.horse-events.co.uk Swalcliffe Aston Le Walls Gawcott - they've got a PC / open ODE next month https://branches.pcuk.org/bicesterwardenhill/bicester-competitions/one-day-event/ Just to name a few

Yes, I've done it, it truly is one of the best in the business! Lloyd Hunt the organiser is a wonderful man and we are so lucky to have him local and so dedicated to our sport. If you have a problem he's there on foot. If you get eliminated, they let you carry on. I won the 70cm my first time...

Bridle number isn't compulsory - HappyDayz I wonder if it's an additional rule your local RC has included on their rules - it's certainly not a Riding Club nor BD requirement

I've not ridden the XC there, but done some Riding Club dressage there, it's very hilly and the ground can be quite hard, but the fences I saw looked very inviting

So glad it's not just me!! I panic at oxers all the time!

Bit of a long weekend for me as I'm having a party Saturday for my 3.....0...... so I'm not competing until Monday (my actual birthday!) the only way to spend a Birthday - off work and out with the horse!! Good luck all out and about - Have fun and stay safe!

My Brogini were beautifully soft, I didn't need to wear mine in. As for the foot, I can get away with wearing trainer socks over my normal socks to pad my foot out (helps stop my foot flapping around and causing my spur to pinch my dodgy ankle bones!)

It's almost here..... the sun is shining!! Saturday I'm off to Lincoln in the evening for the Force Equine awards dinner, my mum is in the top three for "Groom of the Year", rumours have it we might be on the table with the guest of honour too, so looking forward to that! Although it can't be...
