Hi there can anyone tell me what the course is like at Mickley for the 2ft 9ins class? Im having a run out there in a couple of weeks and am a little nervous about what we might find! Any big drops or ditches or scary things...:eek:
 
Ive jumped round it a couple of times and in general its a really nice course with a couple of nice schooling questions, lots of inviting fences which encourage a nice confident, forward round for horse and rider.. but quite a spooky water, you have to go into the fence of area that holds the water through quite a tight gap and the slope in isnt the kindest. There hasn't been a drop there before that i can remember but there are a couple of steps up.
As far as ditches etc, there is just one ditch under a rail which I always think look rather horrid when you walk it, but actually isn't bad at all to jump. There might be a small coffin towards the end of the course too but don't quote me on that, its all a distant memory for some reason, even though i jumped it last year!
 
Stop worrying! There is an off set double and a trekaner with a learner option! When get times will know if I'm walking the course the day before, if suits, we can go together if you like! K x
 
That could be awesome..Love to have a nose at the big boys course...monkster is beside himself with excitement that hes finally getting to be a proper little eventer bless him. Found some fun ditches round my way to pop over if you ever fancy a hack out!

Im doing the 2ft9. I might have done the 3ft3, but the boss (Sue!) told me the 3ft3 is quite a bit bigger and to do the smaller one for the first outing of the year.

Ditch training would be awesome! How far from your yard? I am away this weekend and seem to have comps planned for every weekend up untill end of May. I could box down one week night, but wouldnt be able to get to you until about 7pm?? Text or FB me!!!
