We are heading there on Thursday for the Open Individual SJ on Saturday and the Open Team SJ on Sunday.
Who else will be there?
Who else will be there?
Will be taking daughter up on Saturday to stay overnight and be ready for the open team sj on Sunday. If anyone else is staying sat night let us know - we can share a glass of wine perhaps!
Actually, does anyone know whether it's on sand or grass? No one on my team really knows what to expect!
Im there as a trainer heading down on Friday for the Open Individual SJ on Saturday, then Intermediate Dressage Team on Sunday. Unfortunately Im not able to stay down for our Intermediate Event team as I cant leave yard and elderly father too long (especially with Blair coming up ) but fortunately our Assistant DC is visiting family nearby and will look after them but Im gutted as theyre a great bunch of kids. The logistics of getting everyone there and back are quite something some of the Dressage team and Event team are then going onto Hartpury for the Tetrathlon Champs so will be away more than a week while others are just there for one discipline so theres lots of complicated lorry swapping going on just hope we dont forget anyone!
I'm hoping to go on Monday to watch and cheer on any HHOers or their offspring
Busy week for your branch! We'll look out for your individual and hope for placings of similar coloured rosettes as there were at area, in one order or another
Travelling up Sat - going to give the Open Ind SJ a miss to save the pony, doing Team SJ Sunday and Open Eventing Monday Bellapuff is going too, also Golden Match...
Yaaaayyy Will be very very good to see you I might even give you a few tips
I know most of you already know but I'll be at the tet champs if anyone is going?!
Good luck to all those who are competing
Good luck to R at the Tets x
Think we may be able to beat eventingmum's branch record - we have the following going: Two individuals Open SJ (plus T who qualified but isn't doing it); Open SJ team; Open Eventing Team; Intermediate SJ team; Intermediate Eventing team; Intermediate Dressage team; Junior H&P Care team; Senior H&P Care team - think that's it, although last year we also had a Junior Mounted Games team although they came last
To be honest, our Area isn't great for being competitive and the Open Teams qualified by default - having said that, they finished on zero in the SJ and under 105 eventing so you could argue they would have been competitive in far bigger Areas. We had a good haul at the Champs last year with individuals placed Open Eventing, Int Dressage (2), and Int Eventing (2), as well as both Int dressage and Int Eventing teams placed so we don't do badly for a little Welsh branch even if we do get a slightly easy passage to the Champs
EventingMum I take my hat off to you in your coaching role I have to admit to staying well out of it other than those individuals who line my pockets on a regular basis We don't have team coaches but everyone seems to muddle along ok - our poor DC fields general traumas etc and I don't envy her

Good luck everyone going to Champs this weekend, be lucky and have fun - looking forward to many reports!
