I don't even know why I'm nervous lol as it's just a little evening competition. Might be more to do with towing myself there and back in the dark lol!

Haven't taking Bean to a sj comp in months and haven't jumped at this place for 6 months.

So fingers crossed please that Bean see's fit to behave and not dump me. Infact, just writing this out I have just remembered the last time I went up there! It was for an evening class like tonight that went on and on. Instead of starting at 6pm the clear round was still going at 8! I don't normally enter the novice but because it was so late and my dad had had enough of waiting and we still had an hours drive home I scratched from the open and entered the novice none competativly instead just so I didn't go home without at least jumping once! Went in and remember feeling a bit silly jumping 2ft3. Bean went round cat leaping from a lazy canter and wouldn't pick herself up lol. I wasn't riding very well as I made the fatal mistake of assumeing she would jump them lol. She ground to a slow halt at a filler and I sailed over her neck and landed on my feet lol!

Oh dear! lol
 
Don't worry - just do your best!!

Mine has been jumping 2ft 6 inch at home very nicely and then sj clinic every monday night and he refused a x pole - had to have a lead over twice (very red faced indeed). Dreading next Monday eve....
