Hmph.... JAS 2007

[Shrimp]

Not impresssed.
The only two that I can do (as all the others are miles away) are both on Friday's! This mean I would have to miss school and I really dont want to as im missing too much already.
Its strange since both of these venues where on Saturdays this year so I wonder why they've put them on Friday's?

Heres the dates for anyone who is interested

 

[Nic]

There are NONE in Scotland!

 

[KatB]

WooHooo!!! Thanks for that! Arena UK is 30mins down road from me....

 

[Shrimp]

And I thought I had it bad! How frustrating for you. There all down in the bloomin South!

 

[Hattikins]

YAY there are two at medstead again

trying to persuade mum that it would be beneficial to take Hattie along for a go

Fiddler loved it last yr but i doubt he'll be back to full fitness in time to go again next year

 

[BBs]

Well I can only really do Solihull

Addington just run the final TYPICAL

 

[Thistle]

2 I can get Bee to, within 6 days of each other over half term.

 

[Iestyn]

In the same boat - have e-mailed.

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Typical BE, season not even started and they are upsetting their membership! Appreciate they may not be able to have the venue on a Saturday but more likely (IMO) it will cost more to hire at a weekend so sod the working rider lets go for the cheaper option.

 

[Nic]

Normally Ingliston has at least one! I can not believe they have abandoned almost all their scottish members.

Comeon BE get your act together

 

[SillyMare]

Wasn't all that impressed with the JAS last year anyway - very expensive for what it actually is.

Would have been more worthwile if the feedback I was given was actually meaningful / useful (but I suppose the classes are so big the judges get fed up).

Is there fewer competitions this year?

 

[BroadfordQueen]

yay theres one at solihull on a saterday

have only ever done one of these before, was an inter-schools competition though. i thought it was great fun!

 

[Shrimp]

Oh good, maybe we'll get an explination.
I think theres still around the number as there was this year, its just that they've decided to put some of them on Thursday's and Friday's

 

[lizzie_liz]

your bugered if you live north england and scotland, sympathy to all you guys

 

[LEC]

My goodness £4 start fee that is crazy especially as you are already paying £20 for the privilidge of being criticised. I watched last year and was extremely unimpressed. Its a waste of time for Rodney as he is a spooky oil tanker. I also hate the fact you wear a body protector. Far better off doing 2 BSJA classes for that money.

 

[seabiscuit]

Having wanted to do JAS ever since it started in 2002 (?) and never had a healthy horse to do it on I cannot wait to have a go- I am planning to do the 2 at Medstead. But am shocked at how expensive that is!
Will grin and bear the cost- hope to see you there Hattikins!! And I will most definately know which one is you if you are riding your chestnut lass!

 

[Hattikins]

i was about to say you wont miss Hattie with her ginormous white face and white stockings!!!!!!!!!!!!! im still working on my mum and shes promised that if we practise some skinny fences on her before then i can go - i found it great fun last year really enjoyed it even though the judges didnt particularly like my round, i cant wait to do it again next year

hope to see you there too
