Now that it looks like im going to be about next year as NZ has gone down the shoot, im looking forward to eventually eventing rock next year. He'll be 6next year and ehs neveer evented in his life though i have done unaffialiated XC, SJ and Dressage with him as well as BSJA. My quesion is, can anyone recommend some good starter events in or near hampshire intro level around march time? Thanks xxx
 
I thought Bovington was quite nice as a starter

Larkhills up near Salisbury, think it's normally early April, Ebbesbourne is around that time too and that is a lovely event with a nice intro track.
Personally I wouldnt pick Spire as a perfect first-timers track
 
Larkhill is meant to be very big and unforgiving - although I haven't been there myself I know several people who have. Bovington is lovely though.
 
I think Larkhill is great as a 1st time intro and PN. You need to be fit to walk between dressage, SJ and XC, although they do put on a shuttle bus from the lorry park to the XC start

And it's a little exposed but a very inviting XC.
