I was going to do the one the other weekend, but Ren was not fit enough from having time off.
But I went and watched and it all looked straight forward.. Pre Novice was an ok size, the Sjing was quite small and the XC was just like a few Hunter fences and Working Hunter fences with one skinny.
 
Great fun!!

Dressage is on a lovely surface. Xc is mostly logs with rail on top, a water tray, box fillers, skinny arrowhead etc. Very eduational I though and lots of the PN horses were spooky and I saw plenty of stops.

The sj was quite little for the novice class.

I wouldnt bother doing 2 classes, Moon had worked hard enough after one I thought. (plus its £30/class)
 
All very efficiently run when you got there- but a friend of mine faxed her entry and they claimed not to have received it. Luckily she had kept the transmission receipt, so persuded them to give her the entry. Someone else had posted their entry, they cashed the cheque - and then claimed not to have received it! So make sure you phone before to confirm they have the entry if you dont enter online to make sure you dont have any last minute disappointment....
 
Thx boss.

Im travelling quite a way though and he thrives on his work, I know after 2 rounds he'll be buzzing to do another he has lots of energy at the mo!! And thought id rather pay 60 pounds to do that then 60 quid to do 2 rounds at Grasshoppers or JAS!
 
I hope to do one in March.

Whats the smallest height (Jumping) class you can do there?

I may go and watch the one in Feb before I enter to make sure its really for me.

Addington is quite a drive, even though its still in the same county!

Boss are the pics on your website?
