Anyone been to or going to Dauntsey this weekend?

Rather ambitiously I have booked myself in for the 90 on Sunday. On a horse that as far as I know hasn't evented before. Only after booking have other people told me it's up to height and a proper old course. Doh. Haven't been there before. Horse will be a bit unbalanced in the dressage (if he goes like he does in the sloping rutty field at home), he will probably fly the sj too fast but will jump, and god knows for the xc. I'll walk the course on Saturday and pull out if I really think it's too much. Anyone else going? If you see an ambulance passing or a flying bay without a rider, please stop and say hello...

Enjoy!

I think Dauntsey always was considered big, but I have to say over the last few years I think the comparatively small courses have upped their game - these days not a huge amount of difference.

It’s a relatively flat course. Sometimes the double of T bars catches green combinations out, but otherwise a bold but fair BE level course

And the going looks fabulous - they've been working hard recently

Thanks to those that replied. I walked the course today and feel a bit better. It’s not too big. The river crossings might stop us! But I don’t feel like I am asking too much of him. Will update tomorrow!
