Oh yes.. I'm 50, and did my first event for 33 years last year. I had a " now or never moment" 18 months ago and bought myself a horse after an adult life of no horses and career building. I've been very very lucky, and in the space of 18 months have gone from over the moon to get a dc at a...

All event landowners who let us chew up their land Oh, and thanks nicnac:)

Good luck everyone, have a fab time.. Can someone lend frecklesmum a watch :-/

Amazing in a soggy, holding sort of way.... Horses finishing tired, riding fine at lunchtime, but didn't want to be too much wetter. Drains v well though, so hope! Sj on smart new surface so that'll be fne, lorry park fine too. Hope you all get a run. Dressage might be horrible as on a slope!

Done. Good luck

Thanks bearsmum, really appreciate the updates! Lorry packed, stud holes cleaned, day off work tomorrow, ready to rock! :)

Small tubs of horribly expensive " blue rinse" powder in the rinse water( warm)', hold tail in it for 30secs... Goes from dark yellow to glow white ( and lasts 36 seconds but never mind")

We did the test at Isleham on Saturday ( badly I have to say) but the judges comments were " good straightness, needs to be more balanced" on the none circle bit...this weekend am going to try turning at E, asking for a little outside bend to demonstrate not on circle (!), at x do a 20m circle...

Lost my programme! Thanks in advance!:)

Again not very helpful but lots of sympathy as I have exactly the same problem. We are 5 miles off the main road down lanes... mine doesn't make a sound until you pull of the main road on the way home at which point all hell breaks loose. Tried to confuse him by coming a different way ( worked...

That is EXACTLY the same as mine!
