Sue Carsons British Novice?

They are designed as a nice starter class, a few fillers & guareneted corect striding, and no daft riding club angles(if mine is anything to go by!)

Are you jumping unsff opens/3ft?

 

[Hattikins]

British novices are usually good solid and up to height but inviting, the striding is all good and the track is flowing in most cases. fillers are always used in my area , and have also come up against a water tray.

Good Luck

British Novice is 90cm (3ft), solid, well built and up to height with correct striding, should be flowing and inviting. Usually there are 2 doubles, lots of fillers and occasionally a small water tray! I'm sure you'll be fine, good luck!!

 

[Peanot]

It all depends where it is as they use the jumps that they have on the premises. The good point is that they are measured out correctly and to me, this is the most important. The afilliated tracks are usually flowing and good distances.
Good luck. I am also doing one tomorrow.

are you going to HHS? as the jumps there for that class are well built and the area is good but with a slight slope. I am going there but only for the unaf.

In a british novice, Ive never seen a water tray..... I thought you were only allowed these from newcomers onwards?

BN's are usually really kind and inviting. You shouldnt get nasty lines or odd distances. But as usual, it simply depends on the course designer - some are nastier than others!

Yeah your allowed water trays, but mostly they dont get put in for BNs for obvious reasons.

Water trays are allowed in BN and Disco, but very rarely (if ever) seen. In Newcomers and Foxhunter they are mandatory though

I had a water tray in the Disco at Champions of Scotland. Scared the living daylights out of me!
