1st hunter trial on the baby

[tallywhacker]

So ive entered a local hunter trial on my baby. Any tips. Im a little nervous....thanks in advance! And also do we need to plait?

I wouldn't plait for xc as if anything goes wrong it's always good to grab a bit of mane! I'm sure you won't need to tho! Good luck and have fun x

Firstly, well done, and just go have some fun! HTs are meant to be fun, not scary. Just go at the pace that you both feel happy in, no need to rush. Personally, I always plait for XC, be it the XC phase in eventing, or a hunter trail. Just looks so much smarter to me, but it's not a mandatory requirement at all.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on!

No need to plait

Be positive, think forward and ride the first few fences like he has refused them!

Normal to be nervous, have fun
