I am going to do a couple of Hunter Trials at Eland Lodge and Draycott House.
I was just wondering about three things really:
1) how fit would a horse need to be to do either of these courses;

http://87.237.62.35/events/crosscountry/Intermediate%20Fences.htm
would he just need to be ''hacking 3 or 4 times a week and bsja every other weekend'' fit - or would he need to be fitter??
2) what do i wear? hacking jacket, cream jods etc (aka hunting gear) or do i need to wear like eventing cross country gear??
3) how long are hunter trial courses?? is it just like 100metres or so between fences or more/less?? just so i know about the length of the course regarding to fitness levels.
thanks in advance for any info
