hi, i am not sure were to do my first event, do you have any recomendations? xxxx

[petrishka]

I suggest going and doing some pony club events first. BE has a heck of an atmosphere, even for a more mature, older horse, plus you have no eventing experience. It's an expensive sport and it seems silly to pay in excess of a hundred pounds to enter an event when you don't know how you or your pony will react. By doing PC events you can enter them a lot cheaper, get experience, and gauge how your pony reacts to eventing. 3 disciplines in one day is a lot for a young pony / horse.

@petrishka you can do BE90 and BE100 on a day ticket tho for only £16

[petrishka]

@EilidhLovesFoxyOx Yes but you have to have a horse day ticket and a rider ticket, which are £14 and £16, the the entry fee, then the start fee. Why pay all that money when you don't know how your horse will react to the ODE atmosphere?

[EilidhLovesFoxyOx]

@petrishka yea, do a little ODE first but even local ODE's cost around the £30 mark :)

Haha that's his best test to date ;)

Solihull is about 2hrs from us, A43, onto the A14 briefly, M6. It's a dead straight run, and a lovely lovely venue.
