[Danindigo]

Hi, does anyone have any views/experiences of what these novice tracks are like as im thinking of maybe entering up for one. All advice would be greatly appraciated

thanks

I havent been to either - but on ER sansaw looks like a very fair Novice track

Osberton is new this year novice track but they do a PC Open which is about novice size and thats lovely so I would imagine it will follow similar lines and the ground is always good there.

 

[Danindigo]

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PHOTOS OR KNOW OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO GOES TO THESE EVENTS?

 

[H-J]

As requested.....

 

[Danindigo]

Thanks alot Holly! If there are any more to look at that would be really great!!

The rest of the fence are pretty bog standard Novice fences, looks like a nice course.

I was looking at Aston earlier too and that looks like a nice Novice.

MK, Nurstead, Purston Manor, etc are probably not good 1st time Novices

 

[Danindigo]

any ditches, trekhaner's etc? Purston is quite a decent sized course, i did the PN there a few years ago & thought OMG!!

 

[H-J]

I did the Novice there last year. Went clear but it was big and technical I thought.

There is a house (A) then a ditch (B) at Sansaw but not technical or big really just normal.

SOE has a super 1st Novice course - well its good for 1st time PN and Novice at SOE

you don't happen to have any pics of the CIC** at Osberton do you?

 

[H-J]

Here are a few from the 2*.....

This course looks quite fair too for a 2*

 

[Danindigo]

sorry to be a pain holly but im looking for pics of Chatsworth, Bradwall. Many thanks

 

[H-J]

Chatsworth Novice.......

Look tougher then others ive seen. No Bradwell pics im afraid.

Osberton 2* was a bit different in 06 to those pics HollyJane has shown (think they were 05 pics), really nice course but glad my horse had a good amount of intermediates and CIC**'s under her belt. Number 4 was tough enough.

Osberton is a lovely event - ground super - XC through woods for much of it - lovely flat Dressage and lots of warm up. Novice track is new - assume up to same standard. Lovely organisers!

 

[MissDeMeena]

looks nice in the pics!! and the date at the bottom of them says '06

just out of interest, why do you have so many random course pics Holly??

 

[ElleJS]

It was definitley different last year, that skinny at the bottom of the drop was a lot bigger and alot wider!! There was also a new corner complex, but it rode really nicely I have some pics somewhere......

 

[MissDeMeena]

would love to see them... apart from that, where do you suggest as a nice early CIC**
