If you are thinking of doing BSJA properly get your 4 BN DCs especially if Winston might be on the transfer list. All DC end up on his print out, even if he doesn't get placed and it would make him look good. The second Round BN ends up about 1.25 so it isn't small once you get past the preliminarys

Not sure how close you may want to get to the Ginger Assasin in eventers corner. She is in a right strop at the moment - got clipped on Friday and she is holding a grudge!

Addington run clear rounds on a wednesday night from 85cm to 1m so we're going for the 95cm and 1m class tomorrow and i can just keep going round

Oh I had forgotten they do the CR on wednesday evenings.
Do you know if the courses are up to BSJA standard (wide oxers etc) or more like un-aff?
[/ QUOTE ]
I went to a couple last year for the 90cm-1m classes and thought that technically they were about BN standard but didn't ride as big as an affiliated course at the equivalent height. Really well organised evenings 'though and in the later classes there was virtually no waiting around at all.

Do I not count as an eventer anymore? *sniffs and sits forlornly down in a corner*.
I am feeling very enthusiastic about this all now and if I can convince the other Vicky who was there with me that I ought to ride hers round then I will be there again Thurs (as then half the diesel gets paid for me). And off to Patchetts Monday too. Want to go hammer and tongs at the BSJA until L has his DCs in BN and Disco. Sure you don't want to buy him BBs

He's a slut - he will snog anyone! Though obviously was demonstrating exceptional taste at that particular moment! Did you mean you are going to Addington this Thursday? I got a bit confused with the thread above.....

No going to do CR tomorrow night! after work.
However the chance of seeing a future new ponio is far more important!
Did I say winston is on the transfer list......

How strange to have a water tray in a Discovery?!!! I was under the impression that you don't come across these until at least NC, if not FoxH!
Anyhow, well done - I think stage fright is our biggest problem as well!!!

We must be hard in Area 48/42 as well because we also get water trays at BN/Dis. They are compulsory at NC.
West Wilts have a lovely inflatable one, which is only ever half inflated and very scary

Compulsory in Newcomers, optional in classes below.
If it was busy, with a lot in each class, they would've stuck a water in to catch a few more out!

It certainly did that Susan! OMG amazing how many horses stopped at the water tray!
I have ridden a couple of unaffiliated 1m classes at Addington and they always stick the water tray in then also.
I have a water tray coming in the next few weeks so we will practise lol
Im now not going clear rounding this evening - thats been postponed until next wednesday as Im off to see about a new horse

Don't forget at BE there are only two fences at max height, but I always find that indoor courses look a lot bigger than the same dimensions outside!
