That made me laugh! Sounds just Liberty's kind of course! It's just a question of getting him to as many places as possible, and getting the hang of cantering across fields and jumping things.

Forrest tried to PM you last night about Tweseldown but your PMs are full. I'm going to polish my BD halo though and drop in on the College Premier League instead and show my face - then I can work tomorrow and go showjumping in the evening instead.
 
Potton is scary, full of people who just want to go really fast. they set the horses off really close together and the collecting ring is a nightmare, big but full of people who just go to ride round.
There are no ditches, no water and no greenery.

Lock up all your possessions as the notorious gypsy camp is next door!.

The optimum time is picked out of a hat!

Once when daughter was on a green horse and taking it slowly she was overtaken whilst going down the steps (I don't mean from a stop she was actually half way down!).

there are no fence judges to prevent stuff like this, they watch it all from a bus.

Having said all that I would go there to school as the ground is always good, just will no longer go there on comp days.

BTW your horse will have orange legs for a few weeks after.
 
Lol! I used to go there when I had Toffee on loan down the road from there and I can agree with everything you have written! Toffee was especially unsettled there as she naps and was in full site of the collecting ring the whole way round so we either napped or bolted

The jumps are pretty repetative and also no seems to be a gap between 1ft6 and 2ft 9?!
Have since found Hill House in Carlton, it's lovely and so much better. Hill House
 
Hill House is OK, the park at Graveley, Stevenage is lovely but little known (used to be a BE course) is available for schooling though, PM me if you need details. We also go to MKEC, Keysoe and Ely to school.
