Taking my numpty horse as daughter's is still lame (thanks to mine

) so have to go on a ticket. Pros and cons:

The College - love the parking & cafe, but starts early and schedule goes up too quickly so would have to get there crack of dawn for clear round (bearing in mind I have two teenagers with me).

Lordsbridge - clear round first - will that be at the same height as first class? If so, quite a cheap option for two rounds. Horse been there before and managed to scrape a double clear at 85cm Trailblazers so some hope of getting my money's worth

Patchetts - hate the parking, but doing a BSJA intro day so free tickets to ride, starts too low (want about 90cm) so will I be there all day?

Going to X Factor in the evening (lord help me) so got to be home mid day.

I *think* I'm going to go to one of either Lordsbridge or Keysoe... A has been going like a sack of poo lately, so ideally I want the one with the smallest CR... Keysoe's class 1 is 95 cm but Lordsbridge's is BN, so maybe L's will be smaller...

Anyone done a CR at L? It's only recently that they've started doing it, so not sure if it's the same size or smaller.

Can't be doing with Patchett's cos of the parking, & whenever I've been there, it's been stupidly busy.
 
I went to one of the patchetts intro days and the 3rd class was still going at 8pm! they can be very busy so you probably won't be home by mid day. Don't know about the other 2 though sorry.
 
Definitely forget Patchetts - thjey never restrict entries and get huge numbers so you have no hope of being back by midday if you're not doing only the first class.

I always choose Keysoe, but it sounds like Lordsbridge ticks more of your boxes, so Lordsbridge it is!

Yes, Lordsbridge it is then! Can't face getting up for Keysoe AND having a late night at X factor, so if anyone else is there, come and say hi. I'll be holding a gormless bay and a little grey with big stable stains

I detest L and would go to Keysoe, at least the horse gets a decent surface to jump on, and you get somewhere to park your lorry safely.

Didn't have you down as the sort that needs to go to X factor concerts! (or are you just the driver?)
