and you could have as much tuition as you liked (oh and you could drink a bottle of instant bravery
wink.gif
).... what discipline would you do? Different to what you do now? And in what order would you state your preferences?
Here's mine:

1. Eventing (only I'd do it well
grin.gif
)
2. Dressage
3. Showjumping (I'd be buying in crates of the bravery
tongue.gif
)
4. Hunting
5. Polocrosse
6. Carriage Driving
7. Polo
8. Point to Point / National Hunt
9 Racing
10.Endurance - just doesn't remotely appeal to me

Have I missed anything?
 
I would love to do top level dressage but do it properly- no short cuts.

Eventing would still be my number 1 as I adore xc but dressage would be a close 2nd
 
Eventing at top level would be my absolute no.1

And the sidesaddle (dressage/and or jumping, incl. XC

urm still thinking

) -I wouldn't do it at all - don't do leaving the ground
2. Dressage -I was born to wear tails
3. Showjumping (I'd be buying in crates of the bravery
tongue.gif
) -see eventing
4. Hunting - love it, but still wouldn't jump these days
5. Polocrosse -nope
6. Carriage -Driving done some - it's ok but doesn't really rock my boat
7. Polo - now that could be fun
8. Point to Point / National Hunt -Are you mad?
9 Racing -nope
10.Endurance - just doesn't remotely appeal to me

My dream was to work in a NH yard as a stable lass or join the police & then go onto being a mounted officer (Not just because of the horses)

Unfortunately couldn't do any of it because of arthiritis so now a a happy hacker who's regaining confidence & who is aiming to move onto side saddle riding.

Adore racing but Endurance doesn't really appeal. Too much emphasis on regulated times. I know that applies to all equestrian sport but it seems to be more pronounced in Endurance.

:D:D
 
I would love to go to the top in dressage too. One of my life's ambitions is to competently ride a GP test, and I'd also love to do it properly and classically (and preferably on something PRE!)
grin.gif

If I had bravery by the bucket-load I'd event as well. I wouldn't want to go round Badminton, just a decent intermediate or a 2* track would do me.
One day I WILL hunt as well

1. Eventing
2. Showjumping
3. Polo (do many other people on here play??)
4. Hunting
5. Polocrosse
6. Dressage
7. P2P
8. Horseball

Or ideally, all those at once

I'm hoping to get into Endurance this year if we can get to the root of Daisy's back problems. I like jumping but I don't like going over about 3ft and I'm too competitive to only ever want to compete at that level, I like the idea that we could move up and be good at endurance, even if we never get there (hope that makes sense)
 
I would love to be able to afford to have lessons with my fab trainer all the time! (She isn't particully expensive, I'm skint)

Then I would event. Dont think I will ever be good enough though, we could do the Sj and XC but can't get the dressage sorted.

Carriage Driving, wouldn't do any of the others. I already drive but could do with some more experience and coaching.
 
1, Eventing,
2, Dressage
3, Sjing
4, Hunting
5, Team Chasing
6, Horseball
7, Polo (would need a make over to look like Jodie Kidd
tongue.gif
)
8, Polocrosse
9, Driving
10, Endurance
 
Top would be showjumping for me, then eventing, then hunting/teamchasing.

Not really interested in pure dressage though, only want a horse well schooled enough to go nicely and be a pleasant ride, and to enable good control for jumping.
 
Eventing at 4*!! Now must find my millionaire investor...

OH will not help, however this won't stop me asking for an Oakley and a couple of top horses to go with it (and a groom, no two grooms) oh, the list is endless....
wink.gif
 
I would need to take an awful lot of bottled bravery and get a decent horse (my coblet couldn't take me round Badders, as much as he'd like to) but I would love to do:
Eventing
Hunting
Endurance
Polocrosse (tried it once, absolutely brill)
Carriage driving
Showjumping

None of the others interest me, I tried polo but didn't like it, much preferred polocrosse.
