Nope. I much prefer bumbling around out on a hack.
Absolutely me also!!!Exactly this. I take my riding seriously. But my goal is to ride a GP at home on a rainy tuesday evening in november, not all dressed up on a sunday. I want to be the best rider I can be and make my horse the best she can be, but I don’t really care how we score against others. I ride for me and the joy it gives me.
So I rarely compete, because I just can’t be bothered.

Could we make it dry not rainy ?
Not that this is a thread about having a go at hackers, but I often think hacking is one of the most taxing things about riding! Unpredictable, lots of things to spook at, risk of injury, stupid road users etc etc. I think happy hackers are pretty bold to cope with all that.

As for competing, very sporadic for me but it does help give me structure and something to train for. I tend to go out more for clinics and course hire, occasionally hacking as ours is now more limited. Don’t tend to go out more than 2 a month at most but, with COVID and lockdown, I’ve lost my mojo !
