Gulp - just entered my first ever unaffiliated ODE

[Pidge]

Ok so having been bitten by the XC bug and with the dressage improving have decided to enter Pidge in the Eland Lodge unaffiliated ODE on the 24th August. So I've done dressage, SJ and HT's before but what else do I need to know with doing a ODE? It's only the mini one at 2'-2'4" but it's a start

Sis is doing this on Sunny too.
Also any idea where I can get a copy of this test from please? Dressage Test – British Eventing 100 (2001)

 

[KatB]

Youll be fine. You can get the test on www.britisheventing.com

May see you there.

 

[Pidge]

Thanks Kat

which class will you be doing?
What time are you on tomorrow at Stafford? It's just started to rain here

 

[Heidi1]

Try Eventriders.com, front screen, left hand side, under features, dressage tests.

Good luck and if I can find you will come and say HELLO

 

[EventingMad]

[Pidge]

Thanks, I'll be the nervous one on the big chestnut with a big white face, the horse that is not me.

 

[Pidge]

[Pidge]

[KatB]

Lol! Sjing is 11 something (dont watch that!!) and XC is about an hour later...not helpful am I?!

 

[Pidge]

LOL very helpful as you have such a hard horse to spot in a crowd

 

[KatB]

[Cruiseonamiro]

Cow ponies went through a popular phase I should know it's why i bought mine! Haha, jk

Good luck!

 

[Heidi1]

That's a really good result............ I'm sure you helped him in some way...

[redmerl]

I hope you have a lovely time and let us know how you get on. Im sure you will have a great time!

 

[kirstyhen]

Might see you there as Im planning on enetering again this year, hoping they havent a rule to ay I have to move up a class, pony can only do 3ft max!

Well be doing the novice class if we can.
Good luck!

 

[wench]

I went last year the weather was horrid and so was my nag, no transport this year else i would be going again

 

[kirstyhen]

The weather last year suited my boy right down to the ground, hence our very successful day!

 

[Pidge]

thanks, which class are you doing?

 

[Pidge]

Sounds like there may be a few of us there then from HHO, will def have to meet up then

 

[Pidge]

don't think you'll have to move up a class, nothing in the rules that I could see...........

 

[kirstyhen]

Thats what I thought, will just enter the novice anyway, he can always run HC if they have a problem! Last year was a fluke anyway

 

[Pidge]

good luck or tomorrow, walked the course today and it looks lovely
