Did a class at a pony club open show at college today and the class I'd entered had a load of competitors in it, when the class started I think every competitor was in the warm arena either cantering around cutting everybody up or they were stood on their ponies in a big row along one of the long sides......It was a warm up arena for warming up in, not for standing around! You could only just safely fit a horse between one of the proctice jumps and the ponies back ends. none of the kids seemed to know any basic school rules i.e. pass left to left, if your walking stay on the inside track etc. It took me 9 attempts to jump the spread for a second time because people would ride in front of it without looking, ride on the landing side without looking (one girl was working her horse on a circle at one end of the school where there wasn't much room and nobody could jump). I'm still shocked at how bad it was, it was just one big disorganised mess! One thing that would have made life much easier though would be saying that there should be no more than 12 people in the warm up at any one time and no standing about in there!
Right, rant over, heres hoping the next PC show (a diffetent PC to the one that was here today) is a bit better
