Wellington Riding Un Af Dressage Mon. Are the times always this bad?

[milliepup]

Finally entered a dressage comp at Wellington Riding on Monday and just had my times? I choose Novice as I have a yard of horses to do and know the Prelim would be the early ones but my times are between 4.15 and 5pm! There are 2 prelim tests and there are so many entries that they run from 8am to 3pm!
I'm glad to see its popular but I am probably going to have to cancel because I have to do the horses when I get back and it will be way to late.
Is it always like this and would anyone else think that maybe having so many entries in the prelims is not a good thing?
It's such a shame as I really wanted to go, never mind maybe next time!

not the same venue , but my times are 2.02pm & 6.10pm the entries are so many! needless to say i think i will be withdrawing from the 6.10pm one , it will be pitch black & I don't much fancy 4 hours between classes!
