Its pretty big - are you talking for sj? (the only bit I know about!) Personally I would say its a bit scary for a really green novicey horse (unless of course you want it to get experience like that) theres lots of people about, and noisy flappy fairground stuff.
What would you be going to do?

Was thinking of doing BN and Discovery, the horse is usually pretty good - she has jumped at Dorchester show and similar so hopefully that would be pretty similar?

A friend was telling me about P&S show and was saying that they throw everything at you in the show jumping ring - fillers, water trays, interesting turns etc.

And LOTS going on around the arena too

If shes done Dorchester show she should be half way ok for it.
Go for it I reckon! Be a good day out whether she goes well or not anyway!
