I'm very lucky to have the ride on a very nice ginger mare, and her owner does endurance, so last year I gave it a bash- did Barbury Castle in glorious sunshine (Grade 1) & Firle Park in torrential rain (Grade 2).
Then we've just done Chobham Common training ride last weekend in murky weather. Have to say glad it wasn't my first ride, for a training ride I found it quite challenging in terms of route & ground wasn't too fab in terms of being able to get into a good rhythm. But it's all good practice. And after some marginal break issues I think we will be making sure she has her competition bit packed rather than training snaffle packed up next time!
Anyway- just clearing out some pics on my pc and thought I'd share- enjoy! (No CC please- not my horses
)
