Anyone there on thursday?

Im taking Jerry for his first EVER dressage test and wondered if anyone else was going.


If you are, I am easily spotted, I am on the one spooking at everything in sight

Don't be worrying about spooking at the boards..He has a nice BIG canteen window&spectators to contend with..
Just remember to order your Burger&Chips as you fly-past!!
Good Luck.
 
Ohh, you might see me. The entries tend to be quite big there though. Obviosly don't know my times yet. Wix is an hour from me too, but the driving is held there so we use it as our local venue. It is quite nice really I think. No comments on the white boards, shadows or bright orange sign. I'd be easy to spot, girl with 4 chestnut ponies, although only competing 2.
 
Good luck - Wix is lovely! Nice indoor warm up and good indoor test arena.......I've not found it to be particularly spooky (no more so than Norton Heath or Harolds Park Farm?) but I seem to remember a couple of forum members horses attempting to jump the beam of sunlight separating the arenas.......

And one of the best show centre cafes, so make sure you eat lunch there - I'm an expert in these things

And a wonderful entrance it was too! Although personally I prefer the entrance you made with the jug of Pimms a little later

Prelim 7, as I hate prelim 13, and think a novice might be a bit ambitious for his first time out

. Not at Wix but at Roadbaston!

Quick question - complete novice - do you go straight in to do the test or do you get so long to trot around and then get beeped to start the test?

Thanks and apologies for post hijack!
