Really good!

@HorseaHolicChick Thanks a lot. We're doing some training level stuff now too, so we've moved up a bit. This was a fun show, though.

Was this a day when they just had cross country? Or was it a full event with stadium and dressage too?

[jschmidt1035]

@sierra842 This was a complete, sanctioned show, so they had all three tests. It was a good time with some fun terrain to deal with too.

how do you know what jumps to take/ do you walk the course beforehand

[jschmidt1035]

That's correct. The cross country course usually opens by 3 P.M. the day before so that you can walk it any number of times and plan out what you want to do. I usually walk it about three times so I can memorize it thoroughly.

You must be getting ready to do some cross country, I'll bet.

@JazperIsMyHorse Intro isn't a recognized category though, that's just one some events put in for small ponies or green people.

[jschmidt1035]

Thanks a lot. We've moved on quite a bit since then too.
