as ^^^^ does any one have any pics of the BE 90 XC...

any info on course please, hard, easy, up to height or just under, challenging or inviting any thing please...:)
 
It's a good old fashioned cross country course. Straight forward but on the meatier side of BE90 in my opinion. You need a fit horse as there are two climbs, the last one being a killer (at the end of the course). I'd say it's an easy BE90. :) The show jumping is in a large arena with flags around the outside and there are quite a few trade stands so there is a good atmosphere. It is about 10 miles from us so we will be there. One of my favourite events on the calender. Simply because it is what I call a proper cross country course, nice, big and gallopy! :D
 
Previous post has it about right. A really lovely setting. The course is quite hilly though in parkland and with the recent rains the going should be good.
Except for the hills it is pretty inviting and a good BE 90 experience - better to ride than some.
The SJ course is on quite a slope so more difficult to ride than the actual layout of the course would suggest. Dressage is some way away from the rest of the site so need to plan accordingly. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!
 
I did brightling a few years ago and really enjoyed it - found the course was up to height but nice and inviting. Here are a couple of xc piccies:

thanks for the advice and info..
I'm fine with SJ, on the flat or on a slop.
its the XC I'm having trouble with, just need nice, simple inviting jumps so we can get round in one piece.
I'm doing the 90 at rackham nxt week , have heard its a nice course, is it similar to brightling pk ?
 
I'm at Rackham BE90 next week too. They are very different with regards to terrain but Rackham is also very straight forward and they did a fabulous job with the ground last year!! :D
