Argh!

On the 30th there's show jumping and it has like, THE most amazing class. Remember the Only Fools on Horses programme? Where they did a competition with 2 identical courses which you had to jump against the clock next to someone else doing it too and the one to finish first wins? They have a class of that! Also have another class we can do, both little, the race course thing is 2 foot - 2 foot 3, the other one is 1 foot 6 - 2 foot so nice and small...

I'm being paranoid again, and hesitating because
- At that time will only have jumped beastie 4 times since 2 months rest from jumping because over the summer neither of us had much fun because she got nappy and started stopping because we weren't giving her enough energy in her feed! 100% my fault, now resolved and she's having lots of fun at home, as am I.
- It's on grass so paranoid it'll be rainy or frosty
- I'm doing dressage on Friday (just 1 class, Prelim 1)

I think I'm basically just worried that she'll stop again and that I'll get upset and miserable, and that'll we'll be back to square 1 which is why I'm reluctant to jump her away from home.

I've figured I'll enter on the day because she worries about slippery ground so I won't go if its been raining, plus then I can not go if its frosty.

But yeah..sorry just wanted to put my thoughts down on paper. Other people I've spoken to said they'd go, but like I said I think I'm scared she'll stop again, then we go back to square 1!

So yeah..provided the ground was good, would you go? [I know I asked practically the same question about XC schooling the other idea and all of you said you'd go but didn't in the end with frost, so sorry!]
 
Hotellie - thats what I thought!

I think what I'll do..is forget about Lacey, I'll just worry myself sick about it, then when it comes to competing he again I'll just do some miniscule clear rounds.

But I won't pre-enter, will phone the night before and if its okay I'll take my older, much more sensible horse who is very good on slippery ground and jut enjoy it on her, if ground is bad I'll take the older mare to indoor sj (but that just has normal classes xD)

Thanks
