Oh N you MUST go, it is so much fun
I miss not living over there as no way could I afford to go from here
I would like to make the Veteran SJ team - have given up thinking I will ever make the standard one

Fee - yep, I took part in the inaugural ones, it has changed a lot now as they have it all at one venue, before it was in 3 and we travelled. Sooo much fun, great course building, great parties, good competition. Most of the pics I have posted on here of me SJing in Spain are from the tour - lots of flags and banners and stuff LOL! Oh, and the prize money was excellent too LOL!

To have a single season where the stupid ponies did not break themselves in some stupid way....
Every year one of them does something stupid ruling themselves out for some reason.
When we were showing it was things like fracturing cannon bone in the stable (yes I know..... he has NO brain - choc Dun in my siggie)
Walking innocently between 2 horses having a kicking match and ending up with 8 staples in his shoulder - the grey.
Now we are eventing - kicking self in field and ending up having most of summer off - golden dun
Maybe its just time to start buying horses with brains.....

Olympics, obviously
Nah, that will never happen (I'm no Katie Price
) so I'd love to compete at the BD regional finals some time in my life. Even get through to the championships...
My ultimate ambition is to compete at GP, whether that is affiliated or un-affiliated at the local college EC, so doing well at the lower levels in BD would make my dreams come true. Especially if it involved a gorgeous Spanish horse

Unrealistic lifelong dream: Take Charlie to Badminton! Just because i was told so many times when i got him that he was not sutiable and i was not experienced enough ect ect.
Realistic dream: Get him to novice end of next year. Hes so capable, just got to be more confident XC!

I'd love to jump at the Olympics - Never gonna happen!
I'd also really love to jump at Olympia - Not gonna happen unless they run a BN/Disco
Realistically I really want to get my horsey qualified for SCOPE (only the Katherine James or Adventura, nothing fancy) & start getting double clears round some bigger tracks. I'd also love to be able to afford a 2nd horse to compete.

I have 2 normal ones and one extreme one!
The normal ones:
- To play in the A Grade finals at the polox national champs
- To SJ to Grand Prix level
The extreme one:
-To compete in a top level international team in either sport (Although to do that in both sports would be my ultimate, ultimate, ULTIMATE dream
)
