Ummmm...US is considered international so yes....abroad...no..to me abroadis across the pond Germany/UK/Japan...internationally...both in the Jumper and eventing US side yes...we have both competed there in fact together before my accident
And the poor OP...if anyone deserves gin...she should get a whole barrel.
It's what happens after six gins
Oh, I've competed Internationally too then, I've done an event in Wales
Neighham in this country the descritpion "International" does not mean popping across a border because your own country has insufficient events for you to attend. It means competing at such a high standard that in order to get together enough other horses of the same standard to hold a competition at the right level you have to travel.
It's probably similar to us being International Eventers if we've done a CIC1*
Mmmm I have opted for Bombay and am savouring it whilst I cook my Thai green curry. I am willing to offer counselling to poor leg yield girl if needed x
Bloody hell, I won (yes, get me, WON) at a show in the USA on a borrowed horse. It was a combined training, I led the dressage and the jumping. I am an International Rider and I did not even realise it. I even have video evidence! Stuff your poxy CIC* and FEI levels, I am an actual International Rider, I bet you did not even leave the UK for yours
Ummmm...US is considered international since I am in a totally different country though the same continent so yes....abroad...no..to me abroadis across the pond Germany/UK/Japan...internationally...both in the Jumper and eventing US side yes...we have both competed there in fact together before my accident
And the poor OP...if anyone deserves gin...she should get a whole barrel.
Oi - and I can also claim to be a producer of international event horses!
Beat that SC!

Would Gloucester qualify as abroad please?

Depends - are you from, say, Wales (which is a definite yes), or maybe somewhere a long way from Gloucester, how about North Yorkshire?

The joke is, only_me, I suspect you have a much better grasp of the complexities of rider position than most of us, given your combination of riding and education. If you're stumped there is not much hope!
Sadly not in Wales, but I was born in Scotland
It takes me a good 31/2 hours in the lorry
Wow - I've competed internationally then, in Germany and Switzerland. How cool is that?
Saying a horse has an international record, especially in the context in which you wrote it, infers that it was at squad level - the horse/rider were selected to represent their country.
In which case you are not naturally from England therefore all events in England are internationals for you!
*IHW cries as she cannot claim to be an international rider*
She did however ride a British champion under an fei judge and beat a British medal winner - that sounds pretty cool - can I have that on my cv?
Here is the thing though...see...I have competed abroad with other horses but only internationally with Copper as I have only gone to the US with him
But...if I were to go to the South Americas...I would say that is abroad...so tome...if you are in England and say show...Scotland/Wales...to me that is international....but...even though the distance is short.....if you shown In Germany/Switzeralnd you have left the area of international(your own UK) and to me your experience is abroad...and that is cool ...no sarcasm intoned at all.
