I've got a 6 yr old who I hope (gulp) to start BE with next year. I've never done any eventing, he's not even come close (has seen XC jumps twice in his life) so we're pretty much starting from scratch. He's currently competing at unaff Nov dressage and jumping weekly around 90cm at home. He's a big boy, and has grown from 16.1hh to 17.1hh in a year, so has taken quite a long time to get him to the point of being balanced, or knowing where his legs end. We have pretty good facilities for fittening, lots of gallops and hills.
So....ideas for a training plan to get us to a BE80 in March? How much fast work should he be doing? Any tips for good trainers in Surrey/SE?
Thanks all
