went fence judging a noted a few things you might like to know:

PN - fence 4 the hay rack - a few people jumped the wrongside of the white flag

Intro - alot of people missed fence 5 the step and went straight from the sunken road to the dam

The dam caused problems in both classes fence is simple but has kangaroo's, giraffes and horse figures around it which seemed to spook some horses

the water ran pretty well and the corner had a L option but overall both courses seemed to run well with most combo's going clear tho not sure how tight the time was

the novice didnt run today but looks really nice and should be a good confidence run
and the ground was holding up pretty well around the course even with a day's worth of rain so should be pretty good although the warm up did look abit like a mud pool

anyway hope you all have fun

watch out for the carrot jump before the water, pretty straight forward but my horse that has never stopped saw them and freaked out!! Although it was his first time.

Thanks for that bit of info, will be there tomorrow so will bear your tips in mind. Have they got a new water complex there this year, seem to think I read somewhere that they had?
