First Hunter Trial - Lockskinners or Ingleden Park - anyone been?

[cyearsley]

Hi, myself and a friend of mine are considering doing our first hunter trial (!) and at the moment are toying with either Lockskinners (Chiddingstone, Kent) or Ingleden Park (Tenterden, Kent). Prob going to start at 2' - 2'3 (individual not pairs as think they would find that far toooo exciting) and fingers crossed, touch wood and whistle, move up to a whopping (!) 2'6" eventually....Has anyone ever done either of these hunter trials and what was your experience, just want a nice simple confidence builder!! Ta in advance - will post in Competition also as not sure where to ask this.
Also, any opinions on other hunter trials in Kent much appreciated and also any of the sponsored rides too?

There is a hunter trial at South of England Show ground in October. Ardingly riding club run it. I went to the horse trials there yesterday and it was brilliantly run and the course was brill. I think the Course would be 2"3- 2"6 but im not sure their webiste will have details. I will be going and doing the smaller course
