Times are up so who else I going?

I'm on Sunday in section H and currently working out where I will did time to plait etc as out sat afternoon and evening. Oh well no drinking and an early start for me haha

So yes who else is there? I've already spotted one HHOer in my section ;)
 
I'm there on Sat, Section B. Nice civilised time of 11.00 Dressage.

I haven't been before and have heard a few stories about the ground being hard (clearly not a problem this year!) and the x-country being very hilly! Hope we both have plenty of puff!
 
Sat sec A.. I seem to be on earlier than the two people before me which means my times are 30 mins earlier than I had planned.. Need to travel there (1hr 45 ish), and walk course etc then get ready for 9.30 dressage.. ugh.

Anyway, at least it's running ;)

ETS: Sorry for my seemingly grumpy post, I am having a bad day/week and this has just annoyed me a bit, 30 mins extra in bed is not to be sniffed at, especially when you have to get up extra early to scrub your brown horse to get him grey again ;) )

Am also in sec b dressage just before 11 but I'm still in two minds whether to go? It is so slippy at the moment and there is a bit more rain forecast... If it wasn't so hilly and twisty... and I didn't have to get up at stupid o clock to plait, drive there, walk the course all before 10!! Does anyone know how the ground is? My friend went schooling two weeks ago and said it was very slippy then and that was before all this rain!
 
I am in sec H on Sunday, dressage just after 12. My first run at BE100 so just hoping that the ground is ok, as I am hoping for a nice straightforward run.
Good luck to everyone else competing:).
 
I think I might just be that HHOer in section H ;) Not expecting miracles as going to another HHOer's wedding all day sat so I will be the one on a very scruffy looking billy, popping paracetamols!! Good luck everyone :)
 
you may well be! :p Granted I am end of section but I don't do mornings and I'm looking to leave by 8 having been partying night before and plaiting etc in the morning as well which as you know takes a bit longer than normal with Fleur's mane ;) :p

Now expecting you to perform a low 20s dressage and to wipe the floor with us ;)
 
I'm doing the intro, section C. Intending to make full use of Asbo's bog pony heritage should this rain continue!

Good luck everyone
 
Mrs Wimp over here trying first affiliated since crashing out of Munstead earlier this year...only pre-intro though so not really like the rest of you pros ;-). Really hoping the ground holds up cos I am right at the end of the day on sat with a 5.30pm xc so will be following everyone else's plough.....Good luck everyone....

Might see you as i'm around that time too! [if we get to the XC!]
 
Not competing but I'll be dressage stewarding Saturday (good luck and smile sec B people!) and writing for a novice section Sunday. Weather forecast looks good so hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable event :-)
 
Nice civilised DR at 13.48 tomorrow!! I am in the open section of the 90 and doing the BE94 Championship test in a 60x20 arena which will be great! Although Dressage isnt our strong point :( hoping the ground will suit the hunter I am riding though!!!
 
Was meant to be doing the BE80T tomorrow afternoon but just made difficult decision to withdraw - my little TB is just not herself so is booked in for full work-up at Liphook next week :( Really frustrating as she schooled xc really well earlier this week but then wasn't happy during a Lucy Thompson clinic yesterday. So some HHO vibes would be nice - and I'll probably come to watch one of the days so may see some of you and say hello and give a hand if needed. Almostthere - I'll probably be green too - but with envy for a change rather than nerves! Good luck to everybody and have fun!!

Ahhh....really sorry to hear that MCTM...good luck vibes coming your way ...well if you do come on sat defintely stop by...
 
I've just walked the BE90 course and I'm very happy with the ground. The woods are sandier than I remember and not at all slippy, and there's good grass cover on the rest of the course.
