I maybe if we don't go to the College on the 20th! Taking my baby ponio for a look round. How big is the arena?

Indoor is the new one, approx 60x40 mtr (much bigger than keysoe) with really nice surface. Plenty of space for the fences and as its an intro show the course should be inviting. It was the last time it was held there. Warm up in in the outdoor areana, again, plenty of space.
Vid form SJ last sunday will give you an idea of what its like.

Does look nice. What is the warm up like? I just need somewhere with plenty of space for my rather large ponio!

Warm up is L shaped with the big bit 20x60 and the smaller bit 20x40. Most seem to wrm up flat in the 20x40 then move in to 20x60 for warm up over the practice fences. Works well as neither area gets crowded.

Ed was retired in March due to the shiver getting progessively worse to th epoint where he could no longer be ridden safely.
He spent the summer in his field looking miserable and was PTS recently.
Now have a share horse. The one in the vid 3 posts from the top. That was only his second time round a course of jumps and first time indoors.

New horse looks lovely - obviously enjoys his jumping!
Sounds like just what you need - can't wait to see him (will be up for some XC schooling with you in the spring too).

Cannot decide whether to take both to Moulton or take younger horse for a much needed xc run at Draycott. Decisions decisions.

So,so sorry to read about Ed and I wish you all the best on your new horse.As you know I thought Ed a real gentleman and I'm sure it was a really hard decision

Yeh but this time I will be on a green horse so not sure how he will handle XC. Only popped round the XC training course at moulton so far but that didn't phase him at all.
Carthorse...definitely one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. Its relatively easy when a horse is very old or obviously seriously injured. Ed was neither. He looked a very well, fit horse in his prime. I had 6 months to prepare myself menatlly and emotionally but still fell apart.
