Poplar park - good first PN?

[EllieBeast]

Hullo guys. i have been thinking about giving myself an aim this year. and have decided that before i go to uni i want to try BE on a day ticket. I dont particularly want to start at Intro - as i feel that if i am going to pay that amount of money, i want to be faced with something that will challenge me. Poplar park is pretty local to me, and we have won HT's there on a couple of occasions (3'3"). so would it be a good point to start at? Thanks in advance

If you have jumped 3'3 HT there you have prob jumped most of the XC course for PN. Don't forget the added joys of dressage and SJ (2 at 1.05m) too!

 

[EllieBeast]

Lol, no problem! the SJ is fine, and as for the stressage - a girls gotta have a project!

Thankyou!

Oh fun!!! Would you be very kind and explain the levels in eventing and corresponding heights?
Sincerely,

yup you will have bascially jumped all their PN fences take a look at the course on their webbie

........ just google poplar park and it comes up.

Why dont you give yourself bit more of a challange and try stratford hills or great witchingham (both localish too) and you wont have done the courses before nesserarly. (just an idea)

Aw thanks, EG - have done the witchie PN height course, but i love stratford hills and havent yet done anything more than pairs there. Great idea, thanks!

Yeah i would say that would be a great one to start, i love poplar a good galloping course in places, and the xc is just normally big, bold nice fences.

I might see you there, i will be introing my new youngster no doubt!

Ground is usually nice at poplar as it is v sandy, if you decide to go to Stratford Hills it is usually like concrete and v hilly, not my first fav event!
