Help! Having a bit of a wobble!

I've been planning on taking my welsh d to the ingliston grand slam but the schedule is so massive and scary I'm wondering if I'll be totally out of my depth and look like a numpty! I'm looking at entering the 'home produced' in hand class, the novice section c and d under saddle and the novice m&m working hunter. I did a few low key local shows last summer and did get placed but pony is going much better now after doing so many winter clinics. I kinda want to give it a go with no expectations of placings, but is this too big a show for a first step up from local showing?

I'm taking my 2 babies along and it will be the new forests first ever show! It might be big with a lot of classes but its a nice set up and people are really friendly. Give it a go just for the fun of it, that's what we're doing

Thank you feisty filly and black beastie, you've reassured me! Entry is now in envelope, just need to find a stamp... ;)

I'm going to take her to the Scottish Connemara group dressage at snec at the beginning of April so she (and I!) have an outing to a big, busy venue before ingliston to practise dealing with nerves (mostly mine!) fingers crossed!
