Anyone want to design me one? I have just been asked for ideas for a comp on Sunday, course needs to be suitable for bottom hole as the first class, up to about 2ft 9 for the last. Nothing too chalenging, but I do not have a creative bone in my body!!!!!
 
For an easy course, just do two or three jumps around the arena on the left rein (don't start it away from the gate, let them set off towards it to be a nice start), then a change of rein with a double across the arena, then three jumps going the other way. Make the first one or two low cross poles, then a couple of uprights. Make the first part of the double a cross, the second part an upright, straight bar. After the double add in a spread - cross pole for front part with a horizontal pole behind. You could put fillers at the side of the jumps - kind of angled to lead them into the fence. Use a plank for one of the jumps - gives them something low but a bit like a filler...
 
Hi, thanks for all the suggestions, and to those who have sent me some courses.
EE, its combined training at Blue Barn in Ashford Kent.
