Petplan Area Final

[Jo C]

I usually wear spurs for competing anyway if I didn't I think we'd come to a complete stop! Wonder if can get any longer ones from anywhere in time ** goes off to search t'internet**

 

[Worried1]

Yes you can carry a whip as long as you have dropped it before you commence your test at A

 

[Jo C]

Thank you. Have to say I am quite looking forward to meeting people there and putting some names to faces!

Even if I will be kind of white and sickly looking before I go in to do my test!

 

[Worried1]

Might be an idea to wait until after my test to talk to me as I grunt and whimper in between random moments of accessing the loo.
After i'm finished I'm fine!

Mind you I think I will be early as I am only doing the prelim!

So i'll have gone home in shame or delirious with relief!...

Im going to Burrows Court on saturday to do the Novice Open. If i dont get through there im going to Wellington in September to do the Novice Open and the Elementary Restricted (if i get the qualifying mark in time, as we've only done one elementary so far, so we're part qualified).

 

[Little_Mare]

If you drop your whip outside the arena when do you collect it or can you have someone get it for you?

 

[Worried1]

Yeah once your test has finished

 

[Jo C]

Looks like stables may be available if anyone is interested.

 

[Jo C]

I have a stable booked for Saturday night so I'm definately on the wine on Sat!!

 

[JLav]

Good luck to all those going to Wix.

Remember it might be a good idea to have the red wine after you've ridden in case you forget your tests!!

 

[Jo C]

Thank you Jlav although the red wine beforehand may well get rid of some of the nerves!

 

[OliveOyl]

We should be at Burrows Court Saturday for Novice restricted. not expecting much though really, only entered because we had the sheets!

 

[Jo C]

Oooh good luck!

 

[Tempi]

ooooo come and say hi to me - im at Burrows Court saturday too, i have a pink lorry, and a large grey beastie (17'3) im in the Novice Open.

 

[Jo C]

Good luck too PG!

 

[OliveOyl]

Thank you!

If I see your lorry/grey beastie P_G will come and say Hi!

Woo hooooo!!

Shame I am dragging Twiglet to NH on Sunday, or i'd have come back and stayed.

 

[Twiglet]

Twiglet refuses to groom if groomees are drunk before they do their tests!!

I didn't know Wix did stabling, wonder where the stables are, as it doesn't have horses there other than on comp days.

FinnMc, if you want to go back and get drunk afterwards, that's fine.......I have no desire to compete the loon any time soon after his performances under saddle lately!!!!!!!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Nah my dragging duties are more imprtant than my drinking ones

 

[Jo C]

What a shame - never mind you need a clear head for Sunday. I'll just finish the wine by myself trying to drown my nerves before the Music on Sunday!

 

[Jo C]

Groomees promise to behave

I think there is a livery yard attached to the farm and they are being extremely kind and loaning me a stable.

You can have my electric arse if you like but the deal is I get to keep Diva!!
