Prelim 13 and Novice 30

[rforsyth1984]

Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice on P13 and N30? This will be my first Novice test, so a bit worried about being up to standard!

(and how annoying is not having the search facility anymore?!)

Both nice tests. My main advice to anyone doing a dressage test is your entrance - make sure you are straight down the centre line and your halt at the end is square - so many people throw away marks on this due to worrying about the rest of the test - its the easiest part to pick up marks!!!!

Whereabout are you competing?

I'm sure you'll be fine! It will give horsie a bit more to think about! And I'm sure it won't be as bad as mine will be tonight!

No where fancy Im afraid, just at the LEC show (shady acre farm, near kirkby). I have no transport for the moment so I can only go where I can hack to, but looking forward to getting to Warren Farm, Asmall etc when I can get some wheels!
Have qualified for the derby house dressage thing, but not sure if Ill be going because of the transport probs!

Are you going to get transport? Its great being able to get out, but expensive!

I have spent an absolute fortune this last 3 weeks going out competing, then I wonder why I have two weeks to payday and no money left!!!!!!!!

Will you not be able to scrounge a lift to the Derby house thingi?

No advice but I'm doing my first Novice (N26) in a week or two so I'm in the same boat!!

Good luck!

I entered then realised I haven't done Med trot for months. Had a practise in the school and we managed about 1 stride of attempted Med

are you talking about warren farm stables in the north east

 

[rforsyth1984]

nope, warren farm, formby,

As for the derby house thing, Im trying to scrounge a lift, so fingers crossed! I will be getting my own transport hopefully within the next 18 months, but need to find out about trailer towing lessons etc first!

N26 is a nice test, I should have done it last month but the show was cancelled because of strangles outbreaks in the area. Practised medium canter last night, went ok but struggling to get from med canter over E to trot by K!
