Dauntsey Intro

[LEC]

Whats it like?

Horse is bold and perfectly capable but still green. Looking to start off his affiliated career potentially at Dauntsey as about the only intro I can muster up some enthusiasm for but do not want to terrify the horse in the process!

I don't think Dauntsey have run an intro before... (recent history anyway)?

I did run the PN a couple of years ago and it was a lovely big bold galloping course but nothing tricksy as far I can recall - nice and straightforward. It has 2 river crossings, which are fine providing it hasn't been raining too hard! I'm heading back for the Novice this summer.

It is new course, BE100 and Novice are big and bold for their respective levels.

I would consider Dauntsey as a course for a seasoned eventer at that level rather than a first timer.

Ok did not realise it was a first time intro. I think we will be fine - I would take him round Bickenhall and thats the biggest intro I can think of. Water is actually his bogey as needs to go slowly at it! He keeps moving but is suspicious of it.

Big and bold courses - water wouldnt be overly inviting....
