I was planning to go to a venue about an hours drive away from where i stable my horse on Sunday for a unaffiliated competition (most probably table A7 but may be single phase or two phase) but its £10 per class (so would want to do two classes if I was driving all that way). My horse is recovering from an injury so I am not wanting to do a jump off (other than to do it at normal speed), I just wanted to pop a couple of rounds to follow on from a previous small clear round a few weeks ago and homework over canter pole and small grid work in the school at home which I've been doing to get his leg accustomed to the strain of jumping again as advised by vet and physio.
A friend said to ask the organisers if I could go HC (i.e non competetively) for half the price of the entry (or a discount on the entry) so that I would not be entitled to a placing/prize money. As this would save me a considerable amount on my entry it was something I had considered (before changing my mind and going somewhere half the price of the entry anyway on Saturday instead).
Have any of you ever asked to do this before?
I am not prepared to whizz my horse round at this stage in his recovery and jeopardise his leg for a rosette when its taken me ten plus months to get to where I am. This is the main reason for me asking.
