Won the 80 at Solihull last year and have never been to BCA but I've heard good things about it so would love to hear from someone who's been to both or just one of them and what they think? As obviously the 100 will be quite different...
I'm not rly bothered about technicality or height of the xc as I'm sat on an xc machine😂 But he can be a little spooky sj, which one is kinder in that way? Thanks in advance:)
 
Not been to Solihull but Bicton is fab. The sj will be in the large all weather arena and the warm up is also all weather. Wouldn't say is would be particularly spooky unless it's very windy in which case the tent will flap. You'll need a fit Xc horse as it's quite hilly. Dressage is always nice on level arenas away from the jumping. Decent loos too!
 
Okay thanks! Think I will go if I can get over my superstition about Solihull. It's the second last event I did on my ex PT pony (also my first ever pony/horse and he took me from never having jumped to winning BEs) before he was heartbreakingly put to sleep in January so I don't know it would feel strange not going... Anyways thanks for the reply:) My horse flew round Aldon xc last week clear and inside the time, which is also quite hilly would you say it's about the same?
