Shall i do BN this Sunday?? Or...

[Lill]

I won't have another show until beginning of December?

Which seems ages. Have various reasons why this is, holidays, hen night, stag do and wedding (not mine unfortunately!

) but if i don't go to the BSJA show on Sun i won't have another show till December. Am trying to decide whether i should be brave or not....

He went fine round the .85m Trailblazers and was jumping a grid with the last fence at 3ft with him on Friday, am doing more gridwork this Friday too probably a similar height.

Thats a question only you can really answer.
BN is going to seem significantly bigger than 85cm trail. My test to see if horse is ready is to put up true oxer 5cm bigger than jump-off height (in this case that would be 1.05) and see how well the horse copes.
If you are the sort of person that can just shrug your shoulders and carry if it goes to chicken poop then probably worth a go. If having it go wrong will knock your confidence then probably best to wait until you are confidently jumping 95cm trailblazers.
Cant really help much more than that.

He has done BN several times before and .95m Trailblazers plenty of times getting DC's but that was the beginning of the year so tad out of practice!

Am tempted to go but not 100% sure!

 

[PaddyMonty]

Ah you see you didn't give me that bit of info.
So change of heart....get your butt in gear and go do it!!!!!

I'm presuming it's Duckhurst you're talking about ? If so, they never build particularly upto height there anyway and their courses always ride well as a result. Perhaps do the CR first a couple of times and take it from there

Awww looks like you two are made for each other

(Sigs)

I know I should just get on with it really! Just need to be told to do it!

Ha yes Duckhurst. Didn't think of the clear round actually!

My BSJA membership runs out Nov 30th so i really feel like i should do at least 1 show before then! (Will most likely renew it but still!)
