Just curious, how many competing BE train with a pure SJ instructor vs an eventing instructor?
I haven't done BE for a couple of years now but when I was doing BE Novice I never had an event trainer, only had occasional SJ training by a BS trainer. I dont actually know of any proper eventing trainers in my area, things may have changed now but for years I never found one. I think the best way to learn XC is simply by experience.
The Show jumpers hate us eventers. Although we do pretty well I always feel like the poor relation. Don't ask me why.
Sorry to shatter your illusion. I have a welsh cob with black tack sometimes to wind you up,I will wear my tweed but I generally take the prize money home.It's like taking sweeties from a baby......This is a fairly common idea- with zero foundation. BSers do not hate visiting BE people....admittedly we laugh and have a giggle at your tweed and thoroughbreds with brown tack, but you poke fun at our white breeches and fly veils in winter, so all is fair in love and war I feel
Besides, most BE riders at BS are on a ticket, so us BSers don't even register you, as you don't count as it were, except to bump up our prizes with your numbers

My SJing is what let's me down so I need all the help I can get!
