Yesssssssss got a first

[Pedantic]

I got placed first at 2ft Senior, my first Forest Cross ever and I get placed first , thing is I lost about 30 seconds taking a wrong turn, I would have been even quicker , I knew we bombed round, and 15 clear jumps, what a clever ginger sausage

well done but what is a Forest Cross competition ?

 

[Pedantic]

Bit like cross country with showjumps and few rustic type, you cant see the jumps as the course is through trees and bushes on a bendy winding course, no walking of the course beforehand so you dont know what the jumps are beforehand either, all against the clock with an optimum time, fence judge/s at each fence, 15 fences at this particular one, hope I have explained it correct as it's the first time I have done it.

Brilliant, well done. My only success in a jumping class was coming 6th in a riding club 1'9" class with 4 faults and I was over the moon with that!

Is it at Knowle Hill?

I think I've seen part of the course! I used to share down that way and the course goes down the track that we used to use for a "good pipe opener", nice long flat stretch parallel to the road. Have never travelled as fast on a horse as the time the horse and I had a disagreement on speed/stopping - she was an ex-racer

It was at the Ingleby showground up from Knowle Hill, quite a bit of off road riding in the area I have done pleasure rides and Sports Endurance rides form there as well.
