East Midlands Dressage Group

[Cyclops]

Have heard that the schedule for the One Day Event at Osberton is up on the emdg web site - so who is going to enter???? It's on 24th February

 

[titch]

I would love to say I am, but right now I can't imagine being ready for an event in Feb Will volunteer if I don't compete though, I'm not going to completely miss out!!

 

[Gamebird]

Meeeeeeeeeeeeee! But you knew that Having entered regularly in the past when I've had to drive 2hrs to get there I am mega excited that it will now be a 10 min drive away. Have even volunteered for day-before dressage.

 

[Cyclops]

if you can't compete and want to vounteer then you need to get in touch with jacky.chi@hotmail.co.uk and she would be delighted to find something for you to do I'm sure!

 

[Cyclops]

Can always rely on Gamebird to be up for it and game!

 

[meardsall_millie]

Me. But you probably knew that too!

Big thanks to the lady who spent the whole day sorting the event out the other day instead of running her own business!

 

[Cyclops]

A lot more days of that to go MM - but looking forward to seeing you and hopefully good weather like last year - Section Sponsors now too so prizes on top of the prize money whoop whoop!!!

 

[FaldingwoodLivery]

Would love to say yes as it's only 10 minutes away....but can't see it happening at all....maybe next year!

 

[JackJill]

Me , I'm going back to my roots after 3 seasons pure sj! Looking forward to wagoning two very green youngsters round! Can't wait.

 

[BronsonNutter]

Might come and watch, as probably will be ready for a trip home by then! Just depends on how busy uni is. Anyone need a groom?

Wilby will NOT be present, as he is still trying to re-enact the Apollo 13 launching at the moment whenever we do anything exciting (eg trotting, cantering, poles...).

Always, but you might not be appreciative of my 'waaaaaaaahey, we're finally going eventing' horses

Trust me, P takes the same attitude at EVERY event - it's like having an 18hh horse-shaped balloon on a string! Even lifts me off the floor sometimes

You taking both Fugly and Jerry then?

 

[kirstyhen]

Hmmm, may bring along the Moot for a gander! I'm sure she'd love an earlier than scheduled eventing trip!

 

[Vodkagirly]

Wish there was something that early in the North. First one is 21st April I think.

How far North are you? A fair few people trek down for it. It's right on the A1, so very accessible but no real point if there's nothing else reachable for 6 weeks. We tend to make the trip as it's a cheap(ish) unaff warm-up a fortnight before Oasby. Don't think I'd bother if there were a 6 week gap to my next event.

 

[SamuelWhiskers]

Having not been on here for what seems like years, I pop on to find you lot ;-)

Yup I'll be putting in my annual entry with the Irish 'orse, can't remember the last time I remotely Schooled or jumped anything apart from hedges ..... ;-)

 

[christine48]

Doubtful that we will go, can't see the ground being fit by then.

 

[FaldingwoodLivery]

The ground at osberton is always fab Christine, it's sandy ground that drains very well, readyfield blood hounds hunted there New Year's Day and I heard the going was fantastic

 

[SamuelWhiskers]

Hunting there in the next week or so, I will keep you posted! Should imagine its doing great with this drier weather sandy old parkland, very spoilt!

 

[KatB]

Possibly....depends on several things, transport being the main one!! Will probably be on foot if not
