I would practise jumping over as many unusual objects as possible, it's surprising what fence builders will find to make a course interesting, and that way you and your horse will be confident and find the whole thing really easy. Make sure you make a list of stuff that you need on the day, you'll be surprised how many times I've been asked to lend stirrups and hats. Enjoy and good luck!

If you can't go xc schooling try and pop as much stuff as possible out hacking, especially ditches etc. Also make sure your fine with water, wade through as many large puddles as possible, plenty about at the moment!
