Scottish Peeps - look what i've found!

Early season XC training on a surface at St Andrews.

Looks great, blow off the cob webs before 'proper' grass courses are open!

Sounds grand (although I think it's an 'into-space' not an 'inter-space' - unless it's some sort of Star Trek themed jump that I don't know about ). It's just a shame that it's my parents who live near St. A's, not me!

Exciting! Not sure I'll have a fit enough horse but a great thing for those that do.

Really great website by the way

Ha ha! I just copied it from Louisa's email - so perhaps it is inter-space!

Anyone interested in the 19th Feb as I can't do the date Louisa has planned so I asked her to do another date.

Reply to this or PM me and if enough I'll get Louisa to do a second date, ie 19th and also the week after.

Figjam - I can lend you a pony!

Ooooh... was just about to reply to your OP and "say sounds good, would have loved to"... then read this! Sounds great, I would love to! Will double check the date. Is that H you're borrowing out? Be a good way to get to know each other before going to see St G! Thanks again! You are truly heading for "Saint HHOer of the Year"!

 

[smurf]

Yes, you can borrow Hugo, but I can't do the 26th as at inlaws so we need more HHO's to make up the numbers on the 19th as Louisa won't run it for just us two.

So come on HHO - who wants to come on 19th Feb for XC on a surface? Ideal prep before your event camp in March

aw sounds good! i wish i could come but its 100miles from the yard - bit far for a training day. hope you get the numbers and look forward to the reports about how it goes!

 

[Decision_Tree]

too soon for me - I dont think the hairy mamouth will be ready for that kind of action by then!

I'm not a big fan of indoor XC - it blew my poor guy's brains and completely ruined our SJ too. XC should stay as a complete separate entity IMO

It's outdoor! You can see photos at http://www.edenside.co.uk/

Ahhh duh me - I didn't click on the link... Just assumed surface was in an arena... By indoor I meant in an arena.

 

[FigJam]

Well fingers crossed there's some other HHO-ers interested to make the 19th viable. How many does she need to run it on the 19th?

Christmas_Crackers: I can understand what you're saying and it may not be suitable for each and every horse, but from the pictures the arena looks mahooosive and so would be more like Jump-X, but with good going in Feb!

Mmmm I might manage the 19th but depends if the dressage diva wants to break free and return to being a XC demon again

The outdoor arena at Edenside is very large, just pray it doesn't rain or snow (I used to drive past quite often when I was living in St A).

 

[tricksibell85]

2 far for me unfort! x

I asked him and he said

 

[Jingleballs]

Just a bit too far for me too unfortunately

Now that sounds like fun and not too expensive either. I tried a horse at Edenside years ago and from what I remember the arena is huge. Do we know how many are in a group? I will check my diary and get back to you.
