You awesome! Hope I enter into the eventing world with my youngster 1day x

[petrishka]

@purdyjemma Thanks :) they do BE80T now with basic DR test, 80cm SJ with two at 85cm, and 80cm XC. There's also a BE accredited coach there to help you walk courses and warm up for both phases :) x

[mrfintastic]

wow that is alot bigger than what i thought you were doing... he looks so good!!!!! well done!!!!! xxxx

[torabella]

Ha, from the show jumps I thought this was great witchingham! Well done - how did you get on? the size of that table in the xc actually made me gasp, it's H-U-G-E!! :) xx

[petrishka]

I think they hire the jumps from the same company :)

If you click on the link in description it comes up with a report on the horse and hound forum :)

Haha I was so scared of it when I went last year - it was my first novice and seemed ENORMOUS. Didn't look quite as bad second time round! It actually jumps quite well :) This was only his 3rd novice bless him! x

[EmilyGladwin]

wow you and peter look amazing :0 you have guts lol im a complete wimp xc

hows chester do you still have him? :)

[petrishka]

Haha thanks :)

Yes we do :) he's not doing much really :( I'm tempted to take him to Houghton Hall International for the Eventers Grand Prix - the winner is the fastest, and you only get time added for a pole down. I think he'd love it and be really good at it...Got to convince Mum!

I've known Emily for yonks - my first pony was her cousin Lauren's pony, Annie :) And vaguely know Lauren Dolby, yeah. She would be in the Pre-Novice. Have never competed against her though.

xx

[petrishka]

Thank you :)

He actually measures in at 16.2 ... albeit 16.2 and 3/4 lol!! I'm only 5"3 though so =/

No, we weren't placed unfortunately :( Infact, we were right near the bottom due to time penalties xc =[

[tashapolar]

you've got a lovely horse :) X

[petrishka]

thank you :)

[rikeL1607]

that looked much more relaxed than your first show this year =) this was pretty high was that yet a one star event? you two look fab =)

[petrishka]

Thank you!

No, it was the Junior Regional Novice at Burnham Market. It's a novice event specifically for U18's. It's run at novice specification, so 1.10m SJ with two at 1.15m. XC is also 1.10m, Burnham has always got a reputation for being a big track though. I'm aiming him for one star this summer hopefully!!

[rikeL1607]

i think you can do that =) you two improved so much over such a short time =)
