A morning XC schooling at East Bysshe (with pics)...

[OskyWoskyPonio]

So off we trundled in the trailers to go for a XC lesson at East Bysshe in preparation for the Ardingly ODE next weekend
Arrived with plenty of time to sort myself out and screw in studs etc. Hopped on to warm up and he felt good Two of my friends weren't having a lesson so they went off to play over the jumps whilst my other friends and I warmed up over some fences
Started well and ended well really! Jumped everything including the bank, trakehner (sp?), hedges, skinnies and elephant traps
Amazing what a difference it makes when you lift your hands up and sit them there bouncing!! That's what I normally completely forget to do when I go XC at competitions, probably through nerves and trying to remember the course!!!
A couple of pics will try to upload some vids later
Ohh and for those that asked last week, the water is still there and still about 4foot deep! and the ground is good mostly but still a little boggy in places

Oh well done, I did a HT there last year and thought it was a really nice venue. However I know that hedge you jumped and it is MASSIVE and nasty looking, so a massive well done you, I wouldn’t go over it for a trillion pounds, lol!
