Okay so here goes.....
I'm a newbie in these parts and have spent many an evening over the last few weeks reading all the wonderful posts and BE Reports on here after having ridden my boy under floodlight in the cold and feeling somewhat out of my depth.
Okay, so Richmond is 9 weeks away and it's supposed to be my first event.....!
My horse came off the race track in June 08, and I bought him in October 08 and haven't as yet done any cross country schooling (except for jumping the occasional hedge), or jumped a round of show jumps apart from what i've put up in the school with rugs and savings bales to make the scariest fillers i can make and am still struggling to get a balanced canter at the best of times!!!!!
This is the bit where I add that I work 4 days a week in the Civil Service, have a 10 month old baby and a husband who spends more time out of the country working than he does in this country!!!
Oh dear....it looks worse now i've written it down, perhaps I'd better aim for Hutton in June instead, either that or I have some serious work to do! I haven't competed since before I had my daughter and I'm starting to regret the day I came up with the silly idea!!
Love reading everbody's reports and seeing the piccies, will keep you posted on the chaos if anyone's interested!
