Has anyone been there, i need some input ?

PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE

When the kids were little I used to go there for the little shows, not for a few years though.

I am thinking of doing the Eventer Trail there and was wondering what there XC was like, as i'm just looking for something straight forward ?

Went once a couple of years ago, if you want to introduce a horse to some cross-country it's ideal. It's all nice and easy so the horse should get a good experience (and the rider too!). For the more adventurous competitor it may be a bit tame.

Just after a simple course as its our first XC

I used to go when i was little, but not for a few years now, i would have found it tame then, but now as i havent competed in years and im having some issues with my new mare it would be ideal as a confidence givver, as jumps start at 1.6 up to 2'9 ish i think!
Some people down my yard have been and really enjoyed it, but if your looking for a challenge id try something more like MK or an inbetween like Potton!

 

[Claireg9]

Perfect then, go for it!

 

[Scoopy]

I would like to do the 2'6 class, but really just going out to have fun with no pressure !

 

[Scoopy]

You coming with me ?

 

[sarebo]

the course is so easy the horse is more likely to think why are you making me jump this. Even the biggest height is nothing

I went to Twin Trees Yesterday! We did dressage though.

The XC is very simple, all of the jumps are quite plain - sleepers, tyres barrels ect.
It would be good to introduce you to actually competing over a course.

 

[keeley]

Thats a bit insensitive - some people don't have the confidence to jump bigger courses. Give them a break!

 

[Scoopy]

Well all we have done is XC training, just thought it would be nice to start with something simple, and get a boost, we have SJ first and XC after that, remember my boy has not been jumping very long,

Very basic, nothing at all challenging. great for first time. When is it? I have a baby that could do with going out.

 

[Claireg9]

When is it?
I have a suspect bad back problem at the moment which i think i told you about, never took Blue to a XC yet. im not sure if it will help or hinder TBH, she is very excited jumping and just wants to gallop at fences, if i hold her back she goes choppy gets in a pickle and scares herself by getting wrong strided then dumps me at the bottom of the fence!
If i went id do smaller for my first one tbh. Although i feel like im going backwards as with my old horse id think nothing to a 3ft course! Frustrating on my part but with all the problems we've had im finding it difficult to be confident on her... im sure it will come as she is cappable jumping and has money on her BSJA card, but we just havent got it together yet!
anyway if she's fit intime i might well do it... so when is it?

 

[Claireg9]

ok its the 17th september, just spotted it!
Theres a good chance i could be ready for it... allthough i have a hockey weekend which might clash! we'll see, but i was hoping to do a twin trees! so if not this one i'll have to wait for the start of the XC season next year

Damn it why is my life so hectic??

 

[keeley]

It would be great for you, Its really relaxed.

Might want to make sure it's rained though, as the ground there can be really hard.
