Addington Indoor Hunter Trial

[Molineux]

I am going to enter Addington Indoor Hunter Trial for next weekend.
Not sure which class to do as I know Addington is up to height.

They are doing
80cm
90cm
1 Meter

I was thinking about the 90cm as I am guessing that would be like Pre Novice height.

Has anyone done one of these at Addington?
If so could you let me know what its like and height wise!

Thanks

Also what do you wear???

l did the last one it wasnt terribly big or that technical thought there might have been a corner! l wore beige jods and an ordinary jacket l ride in every day. There were millions of people there!

Ahh ok! I am ok with the corners now

so am I thinking that if I did the 90cm that would be about Pre Novice height in Addington Terms!

Ahh ok, I did not know if you had to wear XC gear!

Well l did the 1M and l didnt think that was really PN,but be prepared to see some absolutely horrendous riding,flat out gallop with IMO no regard for their horses!!!! I had to shut my eyes!

Jack did 90cm and 1m and it was easy compared to pre novice, ditto the riding we saw 4 people fall off at the first jump

Jack had one down in each jump off but the only way to win was to ride like a complete idiot. They did have a weird skinny jump (you could go round it) into the corner of the arena and the only way out was back over a small log with a really tight turn, Jack tried jumping the skinny in the metre class and there was so little room Duke crashed into the wall

Good luck.
