I see that Barbury also have unaff. CC dates in May - is this a change from previous year where the BE and unaff. events couldn't run, or because the BE event has moved earlier in the year? The international was always on my birthday weekend (and I really regret not going!)

Cotswold Cup makes Musketeer 3x the money BE will. They have run CC in that May date for 3/4 years now. BE won’t give them an international but pleased to see BE back and it’s a good choice to run in April on that chalk. One of the other issues Barbary has had and why it has run later is the racing yard but guess April is coming to end of season.

Brilliant FEI eventing seminar from last week, the discussion over fitness and approaches within the sport is well worth a listen, especially about rider fitness for the Bicton 3DE.

Oh on lunge lessons and no stirrup work. A lot of people could do with listening to this!

It’s very good. Given me some things to think about and act on.
