Solihull Pre Novice..good place to start the season?

[Diane_Pepper]

Just wondering what people thought about Solihull PN.
Pepper did 4 PNs last year & his weakest phase is his SJ but that has improved dramatically now & we're hoping to move up to PN properly now.
He's a machine XC, although the time isn't usually on our side

I was going to start with Larkhill but now due to easter holidays etc I've sacrificed that for some more BD

shock horror!

Any views?

Im doing solihull as my first event this season, as it is on my home turf. Not sure whether we are doing intro or PN yet, it depends how she goes tomorrow when we take her xcountry schooling..

If they decide to do the showjumping indoors then you should have no problem as the arena is so lovely, horses jump an extra few inches on their surface anyway! If they do it on the grass though, the ground is nice and flat, and they always build the course nicely.

Xcountry is nice and flat, although lots of horses nap over the first few fences there. Lovely assortment of jumps, they've just had a new water complex built..

If you do go, then I'll see you there

Yes I hadn't looked at the XC course there for a while, but had a look a few weeks ago and they seem to have been busy building new things since the end of last summer. Some of the new ones look lovely, and the new water complex does look nice MLT. The indoor surface is great I agree, really nice and springy.

The SJ is usually full to height everytime I have competed there...But good luck
