[kick_On]

For mainly our HHO rider - i have taken loads if you need more just pm me

Our local Rc gets an invite for a guided early course walk around badders every year. This year i took my 10yrs old niece and also went with Ginn and KandM. It was a fabby day and course was awesome, 'the going' is lovely. More of the fences need final dressings (flowers etc ), but can't wait to watch on telly
fence 1 was simple flower box, but in arena

,
fence 2 -KICK ON!!!!! and tally ho!!

fence 3, 4 and 5 mmmmmmmmmmm which way to go??? ground very up and down!

fence 6 need to be accurate here!

fence 7 again choose whic way to go!

Wow, thanks for those!! Already excited about watching it next week

Doesn't it look gorgeous and green, looks like there is a decent grass covering.

Lake looks fairly kind this year, think Ian Stark said that in H&H too but i'm sure it'll still cause a few dunkings.

ohhh gutted im missing Badders

Course looks beautiful, guess they've learnt from their mistakes

It's interesting this course, espec with 2 vicarage vee narrow brushes this year rather than one..

Thanks kick_on. There were some pics in H&H/Eventing, but not of every fence.

Fence 26, the hole looks really small! lol

 

[Roody2]

I'm guessing fence 26 is pretty big in real life - in the pic it doesn't look like my horse could fit through it!!!!

Thank you for those!! Can you get admin to sticky this for the comp duration? It would be great to have a pictorial reference to the fences being jumped!

Agree the ground looks superb, lets hope the weather holds up.
