well i find you ignorant and lacking details.
just because with this horse our sj and dressage aint amazing
doesnt mean im not at novice standard.
you know nuthing about me or my horse, hes very tricky to ride, hes very sencitive.
ive done plenty of novice standard eventing either unaff/pc/riding club or BD novice dressage--harder than BE novice, on other horses/past ponies very successfully.

KatB and Baydale are 2 of the most experienced eventers on here, and for you to discredit them so bluntly is what i find rude. Yes you may find certain xc courses too easy, but you must remember that other people won't. For instance, I try to pick the more difficult novices even though I have only moved up, as I tend to ride better xc then, and if there was a easy track I tend to sit there and "see what happens" which usually results in a silly mistake - thats why I moved up from PN. I know you say that you are working on your weaker points, which is great
this shows that you keen to improve and better yourself
I would then keep doing novices and look at the xc as "formality" and try to challenge yourself with the sj and dressage, maybe even making yourself do an entire test in sitting trot?
I think *some* people here may have over-reacted a little, and you have apologised, but since so many of the events last year where cancelled/balloted it may be difficult to get a run anywhere
