Gleneagles BE

[Missypp]

Just wondered who was going to gleneagles this weekend?

Just noticed on www.bdwp.co.uk that the stressage is going to be on grass and the showjumping is on a surface , i presume that must be the indoor arena?

I assume it must be the indoor - at least for one bit you'll stay dry then

I am going to watch my horse that I sold last year, he's running in the PN. Looking forward to seeing him, was a nice course last time I rode it. The sj was on a slope so probably for the best it is now on a surface adn there were fighter jets doing a practice flyby when I did my dressage - other than that nice event lol!!!

What are you doing and I'll look out for you xx

 

[Missypp]

Yes, the showjumping is always on kinda undulating ground. Im doing the pre-novice im in the last section - horses name is athlone david, cant remeber my number. Hes only 5 he found the wet ground at scone heavy going, heres hoping for a couple of dry days!

Might see you there. Lisa

I'm going. Haven't done Gleneagles in years, but did a JRN there about 100 years ago and the SJ was in an outdoor arena. Caused a bit of carnage as the surface was fibresand I think, had a sort of hairy wool through it! It seemed to be quite holding, I watched 3 people before me get elimanated, so went in and just kicked my way round. No idea if they still have it as I am ancient

Indoor would be good though!!!

Now, if only they could cover the xc too

 

[Missypp]

If only it would stop rainin for a day or two!

Just have to wait and see!

I'm supposed to be going but my van is not very well and has to get the gear box replaced

so looks like I'm going to have to withdraw

I wouldn't think the showjumping will be indoors...otherwise the message on BDWP would say dressage on grass and sj indoors....!
they have an outdoor sand surface, and i think it will be on that.

doesn't anyone think it might be cancelled?? the section lists went up, and then came back down...which is usually a bad sign...?

I have a friend that lives a mile up the road from Gleneagles and said their weather's been very wet the last few days, with water-logging. Doesn't sound great, and as you say, sections were up, then back down again....hmmm....

 

[Missypp]

I was in perth today and there was no sign of rain, i reckon that it will go ahead. Bogpony i think your right the showjumping may be in the outdoor arena.

Suppose we will just have to wait and see what happens!
