I'm Intro so no worries!

Have you been before? This will be my boy's 1st one of the season so i'd like to know if there are lots of ditches!
 
I have the same thing .DITCHES. Not been before but I posted before entering and someone said it was nice there was a coffin I think.
My horse I bred and would not even go near a ditch and at the time I rode a good eventer for a friend but it broke down and so we thought as we had got to fox with him we would try eventing .The first clinic we went on he jumped everything but wouldn't go near a tiny ditch and this was with a top instructor[she was in h&h last week because she was awarded her fbhs] she said he would never event and gave up on him .We had already booked a clinic with Nigel Taylor and he certainly never gave up on him and said he didn't care if I was there all night we were going to jump it .20 minutes later we jumped it and although I still wouldn't trust him he has jumped them all in events.He has done 2 intros and come 1st and 4th and 3pnov doing fine in all, but I don't think he is the bravest xc horse in the world but time will tell.I'm just so chuffed that I'm able to event him
 
Yes there is a ditch for Sapey Intro. It was half a coffin in August last year, rolltop type thing, stride, to a ditch. Then on to a rail with a ditch in front for the next but one fence.
 
I didn't pay quite so much attention to that as I wasn't doing PN! But think it was a coffin with 2 rolltops either side of the ditch, then on to a trakehner
