One of the GREATEST thrill rushes you will get

go to
www.teamchasing.co.uk

there is a forum there and people are always looking for new team members

 

[RunToEarth]

Hello. Me and BB2 both teamchase. Pm me x

 

[dozzie]

Fantastic fun and the people who do the fun TCs are quite normal! The people who do the opens are totally insane!!! LOL!

 

[Baggybreeches]

Me and Miss_Huggy_Bear are in Lancs and we are looking to do a bit too. So if you have any info or dates pm me and we will get a team together. Might be a good idea to go to somewhere like Somerford first to introduce ourselves and gauge speeds and leaders/followers.

 

[moodymare1987]

I am wanting to do it aswell. Might be good idea to go hunting aswell as somerford get used to the kind of pace we would be going lol.

 

[lisan]

And me too!!!!

Why not do it through horse magazine then you will get help!!

victoria_gray@ipcmedia.com rather than reply below.

At present, HORSE would like to hear from you if:

* You are planning to do your first novice team chase this season. Whether you have already arranged to join an existing team, or if you and three friends are planning to form one, please get in touch. We're planning to help one rider/team with their preparation for a three-part series in the magazine, following your progress.

i have emailed horse mag!! she is out of the office at present but hopefully i will hear from her...
i think we should go to sommerford as suggested...

my horse is definatly not a lead...but will jump anything as a follower... erm i think if we did get a team of a few or more our horses could do with going on a few outing so they pally up
what do you think?
im amazed iv got a response!!

[jackobear]

Hey I would go to Smallwood on the 13. Been there before and its very nice! Have my own trailer but I am not the driver!

 

[lisan]

Ive already arranged to go to Somerford On Wednesday next week, as am off work, woo hoo!!

And going up to http://www.cravencountryride.co.uk/ on Monday! Lots of practice!

May likes to lead at these things too!

 

[Baggybreeches]

I'm deffo up for the smallwood one, the Atherstone and Meynell team chases are not really that far, the other are flippin miles, perhaps we could do some local ones and the one at Meynell, with a view to being an ass-kicking team next year??? That way we might know if all the travelling is worthwhile!
PS i have transport too.

 

[carmenlucy123]

yeah that sounds like a good idea... hopefully team chasing will get a bit more popular by then but we'll definatly try and do those two as you said...

well im going to have a look online at that smalwood one try and enter otherwise ill get off holiday and be lazy

[carmenlucy123]

go to pic gallery and check out loz1's post of "My Favourite Blair Piccie"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dear lord.... did i say my horse can jump?? i take it back anything i thought i had jumped is now pathetic...

that jump is huge...

 

[Baggybreeches]

Ahem, The warren farm one can be discounted, as I am sure L154xx will testify it is not much of track! And the ground is really bad in parts.

 

[lisan]

Hmmm, and did you hear how many people got eliminated at the weekends hunter trials?????

Broomhill have and ode and hunter trial coming up. I think David from the Craven country ride at Coniston Cold is going to organise some team chasing - their land is a fabulous venue!!! But otherwise there is not a lot round us

 

[carmenlucy123]

yeah its a bit rubbish isnt it but you know what even if we just go to a few im just glad there are people on here to meet at events or days out that will jump a xc jump!

no one on my yard will!!

they call me the "fearless fruitcake" they all think im mad but dressage never really was my thing!

im not fearless by the way... just read it and it sounds like im bragging!

These three are under an hour from me, would definitely be interested, but I'm under 18... Can probably get transport, but not to all three.. Pytchley one would be preferably if someone will go in a team with me

 

[Deefa]

I am looking for a team to join for the Novice team chases at Meynall and Atherstone? Harry can lead for go last, doesn't matter. He is qiute fast aswell. Will be going round the fun at belvior just to get back into the swing of things
