It has been changed on here and the colours have changed!!!

They have changed number one which is good - but those white rails are still in it! looks much better though! Although the whole course isnt shown here

Exactly what I thought!! I can relax now I know number 1 is a bit more inviting!! The rest looks lovely - apart from the white rails - but then Mac being a SJer I wouldnt have thought will look at these!

There is no way on this planet that No.7 (Trakhener as shown) is only 90cms high

Either that or it's a VERY screwed up photo....
 
Now you can just kick on

I think the hardest fence on there is the roll top out of water! if your horse (i had one) drops off your leg going through - ie i would go from canter to walk

I would really have to kick on to get out lol

Does it say bounce!!!! How blonde am i!
 
well you'd better all clear fence on as I 've seen plenty of pony clubbers on tiny ponies clear that one, persoanlly though you would never get me near any of them.

Also please all take care at the hanging logs , the ground can get slippery and there are trees in the way on landing, one shap trun to miss a tree and you'll be on the floor. Picked up loads of people the other year who just hadn't thought about the landing at all.
OK now I'm confused as the links are to the intermediate course and the intro course. which are we on about ? or are we discussing both? My comments were about the intro one!
 
oh and watch out for random flags between the water and the last fence that you have to go through or you're out.

They're not in every course but when they are they cause havoc.
 
Im doing the Intro course so was originally talking about that!!!!

Just posted the Intermediate link to show people those horrid gates!!
 
As you come out of the last water theres a path to the left through a wood that takes you round a corner and sets you up perfectly for the last fence.

But if your short on time you can come infront of the wood and cut the corner to the last , but they usually put flags either on the entrance to the wood path or infront of the last fence so you have to kind of jig left then get straight to last to go through all the flags should you decide to skip the wood.

Deffo worth a good look at the flags around there, they aren't always in.

) good luck everyone going
 
yer the trakenher i think is fair for intro....(i have seen it) and the white rails can be quite bright.but then unless they have been painted since last summer i guess the will have dulled down a little1
