Is anyone doing it? I only have 1 qualifying result so think I might just go ahead and do the novice as my dressage will not be as hot as many of the others.

Just to make anyone aware - Have to come in first 15 at any event in Cornwall, Somerset, Devon and Dorset. You also have to live in those areas. These are for intro or PN. You have to be grade 4 and not have competed above novice. I am sure there are other rules but these are the basic ones.
 
It would be well worth you doing it. The prizes are really good. On the back of the entry just fill in all the times you have qualified so off the top of my head for you guys - Moreton, Pontispool and Bovington then in the special requests write landrover challenge.
Bricky is a nice event. The dressage will suit you guys down to the ground as the warm up is crap as on side of a hill so most horses do not pay attention as cannot be worked in properly. The xc is not very big but its fun and technical.
 
So West Wilts wouldn't count as a qualifier??

No west wilts doesnt count.
I was second in the landrover challenge intro last year. It is a fantastic event and i have qualified again this year so all being well with horsey i will be there. Like Lec says the dressage warm up is not fab but the rest of it is really good. It was a beefy intro XC last year but there are alternatives at the more difficult ones. The organisers are lovely and they have great prizes in that section. Last year i won a Mattes platinum numnah and a horseware fleece rug.
 
Thanks Lec, we would never have done it if you hadn't posted this on here.
He has qualified with four places at PN (Belmont Park as well) so I would hope would stand a good chance of getting into that class of 40.
The rules say they will do the entries on the best qualifications. He is of course not eligable for the Intro because he's done PN....
I quite like that Dorset route, lots of gear changing but such stunning scenery including the sea.
The prizes sound great too, and we had intended to go to Bricky tho now it's a must!
 
Socks was placed at SLM so why not enter the intro? I am sure just one qualifying place will be enough. Its certainly worth a go.
