Who is up for it? Berkeley Team Chase

[LEC]

I really fancy getting a team together maybe to do the intermediate. So who is up for it?

I can certainly get me and another up for it but missing two as one is on honeymoon and the other is busy.

[Aleka81]

I think our team are already entered for the open

Will have to speak to them and double check. Do you want me to let you know if I hear of anyone looking to join a team?
Do you already have a suitable lead horse? Also whats your experience of Team Chasing?

 

[dieseldog]

When is it and how big?

 

[BBs]

Winston isnt insured for TC unfortunately

It would be sods ruddy law something would happen if I did it.

Have fun

 

[dieseldog]

And is it the bogey time format, or against the clock

 

[LEC]

My older horse was lead horse he is very good has never stopped eventing but not overly quick as he is careful jumping - did Taunton Vale last year and came 5th. I have a younger horse who I was thinking of doing it on but he is not a lead horse. He has evented PN.

 

[Aleka81]

I'm a bit worried about the going TBH. If its really hard I won't fancy taking Bertie.

 

[Aleka81]

Which one did you do at Taunton Vale??

 

[Super_Kat]

Oh don't say stuff like this, I have a horse who would be amazing at team chasing and I'm desperate to have a go but I have no transport!!!!! argh!!!

 

[Aleka81]

If you really want to have a go, you could always post on the TC forum and see if there is anybody going from near you who could take you. They always seem like a nice and helpful lot. x

 

[Super_Kat]

ooo, thats a plan

 

[brunswickbirdie]

Possibly

Really want to have a go, but I think I'd wet myself

 

[kick_On]

would love to.... but i'm helping at blenhiem, but brillant course, big hedges, no really scaring stuff just kick on and 'hail a cab stuff' and remember dressing fence.
Good luck, be fab if you got team up, been to event a fews to fence judge and watch

 

[Aleka81]

Just text the girl who enters our team and apparently we are not entered and our first one will probably be the Bicester and Whaddon

Oh well at least the ground should be softer by then.

 

[BBs]

Ahh if its Blenheim weekend I wouldnt be around anyway

I can come and cheer you on for the Bicester on G

I think you should change his name to dirty bertie lol

 

[Aleka81]

No not dirty Bertie! Maybe if I go to the dressage at Radway I should call him that could be quite funny

I think this is why we're not going. Apparently the girls love the parties at Blenheim

TBH I'm not sure after last year if B is sane enough for Team Chasing he lost his head totally at the Heythrop and frightened the living day lights out of me

 

[Bossanova]

Possibly but not sure how much of a death wish I or the other person I've spoken to may have....
What sort of speeds are you planning on travelling at? In behind I'd have a job to hold him, up front we'd either be quite slow or could let rip- very little in between

 

[BBs]

PMSL Boss - sorry but I totally understand where your coming from, I had the same problem with Bertie!

Theres never a happy medium is there lol

 

[LEC]

Think it is normal format. I did intermediate at Taunton Vale - did not think the open was too bad but my horse is not a flier (he will put a stride in rather than take one out) so not fair to put him up to Open. Umm have not walked the course so do not know about the ground. Depends what August is like I guess! Lets hope it carrys on raining a bit more.
Normally I would get some people from the hunt but most of there horses will not be fit.

 

[MissDeMeena]

I'LL DO IT!!!!! But only if someone lets me borrow a suitable horse (ie one thats been broken and can jump)

always wanted to have a go at a team chase, never have tho

 

[Bossanova]

Do you mind possibly not seeing your next birthday....??

 

[MissDeMeena]

Haha... i survived this morning (total madness on fruitcake 2&3yr olds) i think i'll be alright in a team chase!! plus i've lost the will to care LOL

 

[Aleka81]

I rode 2&3 year olds when I worked in racing at three different yards. That did not bother me. TC on something with a screw loose is completely different!

 

[LEC]

I think Boss would be ideal for T/C he is brave and fast plus most of it is made up of hedges so do not have to check too often. Never know he might be head hunted by an open team!

 

[siennamum]

I'll be up for it tho need to double check diary. Amy might go too, depends on whether she has a team already....

 

[dieseldog]

What date is it?

 

[Aleka81]

3rd September

[Thistle]

wish we were closer. Daughter, Bee's pony has TC'd before is fast, bold, jumps BE novice tracks and is totally sane in company. She is well hunted.
