Firstly, times are up for bold heath!

My SJ time is the same as my mum's dressage time, so that'll be an interesting SJ round for me & pepper, since he & my mum's chestnut mare HATE being seperated! (sp?!)
Is the SJ definitely on a surface?
Fingers crossed that it is!

Finally back into the swing of things after all that crap weather!

I'm not in your section but will keep and eye out for you.
I'm in section C, number 122. As far as I know the show jumping is on a surface.
Hopefully see you on Sunday then.

omg diane! its quite straight forward! just what i said to you before are the scary ones! are you travelling in box or trailer? also what are your times?!

frown.gif

damn i was hoping for a challenge!
my times:
D - 10.44
SJ - 11.30
XC - 12.10

i'm travelling in a silver & black iveco lorry.
looks like we can be coloureds galore haha

with regards to jumping a corner, i come in a nice forward bouncy canter - certainly not a gallop & when/if you walk it again look for something on the horizon to aim towards (i.e. bisect the angle of the corner, get your line right & find something to aim for)
i find trees rather useful for that!
but never try and aim for a car, or something that may move cause otherwise you're stuffed!!
 
do you mean the groundline is at an angle to the jump?

i think the best thing to do is walk the line you want to jump & look at the groundline/pole in relation to your line..
if you get what i mean

have you seen the SJs?
 
yeah that should be fine

i don't think many rules (if any) about the colour of your hat in the XC, it's just the safety standards they're interested in

remember to take your hat with you to the steward's tent when you get your number to get a sticker out on it!
 
will do! i will see you tomorrow hopefully. im sure you will see me as im the one with the hairy cob! lol come over and say hi if you want! i will be quite pale and close to throwing up proberly!!! Good luck if i dont see you. hope you both get round safe.
