Whilst more of a lurker than a poster, I would appreciate some honest opinions.
I'm (slightly!) over 40, had a big break from riding due to career and have now been riding again for several years. I've a lovely 16.1 Swedish WB/Shire (and yes, she's coloured!!).
I'm thinking of doing the Jump Training at Richmond, just at 80cm as we're hoping to do our first ever BE80(T) at Shelford in May. The question is, am I going to get laughed at, stand out like the proverbial, etc or is this a viable option? Having never done it before, and with the entry fee being quite expensive and a 2 hr drive to consider I'd really appreciate any info or experiences you can give me/share with me on these competitions!
Many thanks for your help, jammie dodgers on offer if you've finished laughing!!
