Just wondering if anyone else is going - Lexi and I are in the PN tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for perfect ground - it is very nice around us at the moment.

Answer to unrelated question - Brooksby - I was riding Molly, a nice hunter mare that belongs to a friend. She is 5 and it was her first ODE ever (although she has done a bit of hunting in Ireland). She got a 41 dressage which was OK considering her lack of schooling and went clear XC with 6 time pens but then blew it by knocking over 4 show jumps. How did Mrs T get on in the end?

Hi Sillymare, did get marked for a stop coming off the bank, thought I would as a clear hesitation despite not stepping back, shame as it cost us a place. Was pleased we didnt get any time penalties. Never mind the boy went well and we both enjoyed it.

How did the double ride for you in the sj. I had complained on the Saturday when I walked the course as it obviously had not been measured, it walked on 9 yards not 8! Everyone I spoke to who had walked it said the same.

Actually the double was one of the fences we left up in the SJ - rode fine for me (but Molly is 17hh+ and big striding). Knocked over quite a lot of the others.
