my good horse could do the big tour - but i dont know if i stand more chance in the little one as at least then i can be quicker and more competitive.

I did the big tour last year on Bo...but decided that he stood more of a chance this year in the small tour as there were some very good int'l speed horses in the big one last time
There's plenty of quick horses in the small tour too though...be under no illusions about that

No...it didn't get that big last year. The only class that gets slightly big is the inter-nations GP...and it's only over 2 rounds so can't go above 1.25m in the JO really. I think an over-enthusiastic reporter last year said the last fence...a wall...was 1.30m...but if it was it was the only fence that was and it didn't cause any problems. The other classes didn't seem to go up much at all in the JO sections tbh
I've just filled in the entry forms...find a fax and we'll be in there
