Anybody going to Turnberry?

[Joss]

Should be nice as on very sandy ground. Lets hope the rain stays away on the day (unlike every one of the last 4 events I have been to).

 

[Nic]

Me! I'm in the intro along with my friend.

3rd attempt at our first BE, damn weather!

It's to be dry & warm (20's) on Fri & sat & wet on Sunday. Oh the joy!

What are you doing?

I think Noodlejaffa is too.

 

[Nic]

Just noticed the times aren't available 'til Friday. That's a bit short notice!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

I'm going! Taking my baby and taking my new one for his first BE.

Trying to figure out from the approximate times when I'm going to have to leave. They've kindly put me on 7th in the first class (which starts at 8.30) and my other ride is fairly close in the other section. I still have to walk the sj and xc before my dressage and I have a three and a half hour drive to get there.

I'm having one of those 'is it worth it' moments....tell me it is!

 

[Joss]

My OH is doing the Intro (his 2nd). He is No 2 in section A. Although i had asked for late times!!! I have been assured that we will get late times so presume (she forgot to look at my request when she did section lists). Lets hope they dont really leave it til Friday night for times. We are going to a wedding on Saturday! I wonder if my horse can do his own plaits!!!!

 

[Joss]

Yes, Noodlejaffa (great name!!) it is worth it. Who needs sleep anyway

 

[Nic]

Eeep, that's just mean. I reckon I'll be stressaging about 12 ish. It'll take us about 1.5 hours driving + who knows how long getting lost!

Think I'll be hijacking wee sis' new satnav!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

Sleep - what's that?!

Well my new one's in Section A no.7 so when you see a skewbald going around who bends like an ironing board - that's me! No competition from us, just going for a run, but then I think your husband has won a couple of Intros so I don't think I was ever going to be a serious challenger!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

And Nic01, I'm in the same section as you with my baby (the one you met at Hopetoun). He's being a total brat at the moment. Real throwing toys out of the pram stuff! And I swear he's grown another inch in the last month...

Me, stressed........?!?!

 

[Joss]

I've got to actually get him there, vaguely soberish after one of his best friend's weddings on the Saturday, that will be a challenge. I did suggest that I should ride his horse at this event but having come 2nd at Central Scotland he is all keen & wasnt letting me loose on his prized beast!! His wins last season were on our previous horse who we 'cashed in' at the end of the season.
C U on Sun x

 

[Nic]

I saw that, you're in my friends section on your other one too.

Don't stress, mine hasn't jumped for 3 weeks or xc'd in 8!!!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

Don't forget to say 'hi!'. My OH is driver/groom/stud -putter-in for the day.

Have fun at the wedding!! I don't envy you Sunday morning. Ouch!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

My new one only did his first ever xc last week. Let's just say it's going to be interesting...!!!

 

[Nic]

You win!

 

[Noodlejaffa]

On the crazy mad fool stakes - definitely!!!

 

[Nic]

Don't be too sure til you've met mine!

 

[Jazzelle29]

Yup, we have one in the intro, and one going HC in the pre novice. Should be fun!

 

[Joss]

Times are up ..........

 

[Nic]

I'm loving having them sent to my mobile!

12.06, 12.46 & 13.20.

EEEEEEEEEEEPPP!

 

[bogpony]

I'll be there, doing the PN and got quite nice times!
